The billboard (Aug 1905)

Xtte Billboard 21 AaMieUted Blllposteis and Dlsfbut're U. S. and Canada BiUposteps Hfttlonal AlUance BlUvoatCTs POLiCIg S, NOT P EIMOII8 THE Billboard Is In receipt of an onsisned communication call- ' tarn attention to the fact that 4lC tiM newly elected dl- tlM Aanciated Billposters , for failure to po3t paper and ne^aet of bills due other bilipostora lAe taw; dona wock to-his order. Without gOng tat/S! tba «iues- tton of the fitness of this particular billposter to be a director, we wish to take this o pportunity? to Miyl aln our position In' ooBtiwvu'BM oo w e ar n- ing the Associated BIfiiNiatara. The Billboard is not cencemed In the affairs «if Individuals, except as' they affect the policy of the Asso<datlon. The Blllboar' believes In organlsatlaa. and also believes that the preaent billpos- ters' organization is the best example of trade organizations the country has. The form of organisation might .be Un- proved, but the eiCeet on tlw tnOs could not well be bettered. What Tbe BanbaM deifloica to' tbe Indifference of the ruling members to the interesta of members of less im- portance, bat who axe In the nu^rlty. numerically, aind a>e enttOad to greater consideration. It erttlelses tbe policy of those ruling members In the conduct of the Association. We hear them talk about running the Association on broad lines, when, as a matter oif faet. a more narrow, selfish policy than that which they pursue can hardly be Im- agined. Th^ta Is a mere pretense, in- tended ta eorer a well-organUed plan ■te'cnb-evoytblng lu sight.: ■ - tlon as to eliminate the eanse of the deficit and provide against Its growth. Or, If such modifications could not be made, there would not be a man In the entire BNOibenhip ttat-WMtU -antolie willing to eoatrlbote'nibre money IB dues to foot the bill. • • • Undoubtedly, the reason Barney and his aaaoaliteii tavi^ adnfted a poUcy of coaceamieiit to that they a>e aAam- ed to acknowledge the truth. Instead of being- proud of their record, as the Astute Kdltor of the official organ puts it. they are actually ashamed and dis- mayed, and altogether at their wits the fanda to a It is quite evident now that some- body wUl Indulge In fewer hU^-baUs and taic elCMCBtb* The fl"y~^i poitosr to • nlclous one. By reason of modi four- flushing and Junketing, the resources of the Association have been injudi- ciously spent. Instead of holding on to the coin and planning to expend It along lines that would benefit the mem- bfxs at Uurge^ the present admlnlstra- tUm scattered It about in a most prodi- gal .manner, and in. the end accom- ViMied.«lMtT One lawyer aat>$MU>M tellMC the year. An It e a tfaed MM 6t Us services, truthfully rendered, would be Inter- esting reading. It cost t982.58 to hold a special meeting in Chicago, at which twdve members of the board of di- rectors were present. The purpose of that meeting was to give an advertiser a rebate of 16 2-3 per cent, on his posting. Other solicitors, who create business, usually wait till the regular meetings and then have to beg on their Then, to put the cap-sheaf on the job In proper shape, comes the faked flnanclal report In an attempt to con- ceal the wastefulness of the adminis- tration. ' These are the things that ewy tton^ittiil inaiwliw aC the As- a ecto tle i i criticises. MMhlng .to gained - lor eoncealment: the truth Is bound ta. eoue out sooner or later and the ddMt^iW have Sa'^^im' for the conduct of the Association would come out and tell the members Just where tb^ are at. If the money i«g >am apant, tkaMi aU there to to It. Why not say so Inateiia of fUdng a re- port to show that there Is money in the treasury when there Isn't. Hem' bers of the Association are entitled to toM^.ttcM udiiKi. tt would be ma^ better ftn- Oie olllcera to ten them than to have it leak out. If the aforesaid Officers were really broad-minded men. as they are represented to be, they . e • e As a matter of thet there to abso lutely no need for concealment. The members of the Association are all so thoroughly satisfied wtth the benefits they nettnttm the oncanlaatlon that they wm "iitoet any demand that it's proper maintenance requires. If the Jact that there is a deficit was made known, steps could be taken to so no. I 9. t S BII— , B. P. I Olst. .—St. Looli—S. A. Hrde. aiM BnCcnU at. —FiiitDrr—Robert 3. Otrlitlaa.

Bob Gunning, the main sign guy and billpostlng magnate, walked boldly Into the office of The Billboard one day last week and announced that he was not afraid to let It be known that he to ne w. We tail n later estlng Ttolt Willi Bob^ who seemed well posted on an that had transpired. *^Read The Billboard every week; gruess everybody to reading it except Bob CampbdV said Punning, then aoaed: "Bob has hto° stenographer read It 'o him." * • * Ounning gave us a pipe story about a brand new scheme he Is worlcing on. He has recently acquired a large tract of city property adjoining hla steel sign works upon which he ptirposes to erect a block of modem homes for the convenience of his employes. The block will be built on the community plan, with a cinb boose and park. Full accommodation win be arranged for the various departmcnte at the, Onn- ning System, with an neakik aWipes and studios adjoining. * • * Independent of tills truly great con- cern is the R. J. Gunning Co., which is an organization for the promotine of large mercantile enterprises. "We advertising men get a large' piece of money for what we do^" said Bob, "but it's nothing -la-ttM pnOto lkat are made th the'- baiAieMes whl^ we help on to success. Now, X want some of that money too, and this new proposi- tion of mine to the way to get It. We prises and'bai* fhaaK v* ieome in for out share of the pnMs nd get our bit for advertising as 'VMB.'. It's a great scheme.
