HONOR THE LOCAL DOCTOR WHO HAS DONE THE MOST FOR MOTHERHOOD This promotion idea lends importance and dignity to your showing. First the right physician should be selected. Perhaps the local medical board or Bureau of Health will name the man. Then you get a group of representative women to be the sponsoring committee. Arrange for a dinner or luncheon. Bring into play radio broadcast and newspaper edito rial recognition. Speeches and releases to newspapers should give bows to the production and your showing as illustrative of important part physicians play when “A Child Is Born.” A LEGITIMATE PROMOTION WHICH WITH THE RIGHT SPONSORSHIP WILL GO OVER IN A BIG WAY!
