She tells the story of that institution's ad- vertising activities preceding Hospital Sunday this year to show how con- sumer acceptance was gained. In order to correct erroneous im- pressions prevalent among the FEvans- ton public and that of the towns to the north, she states, "we set out on a deliberate campaign to establish con- sumer acceptance for the hospital, fol- lowing the same basic methods that would be used in performing a similar service for a piece of branded mer- chandise or a manufacturing estab- lishment." This advertising attempted to convey the idea that instead of the Hospital day campaign being primarily for the Evanston hospital it was something for the advancement and conservation of the city's health, states Miss Mec- Cleery's article. How much the hos- pital means to the average citizen, that it belongs to the community, what its services are--these facts were in the advertising, told in such a way that a condition would be created wherein people wanted to contribute, the ar- ticle asserts. In advertising phraseology Miss Mc- Cleery states, " . we first estab- lish acceptance for the product and thus bring about a condition wherein people are able to contribute intelli- gently and willingly .
