The National Committee for Restriction of Outdoor Advertising
WHAT WE STAND FOR
The National Committee for Restriction of Outdoor Advertising urges that all forms of display advertising be confined to commercial districts, where they will not injure scenic or civic beauty.
We are opposed to display advertising in all rural locations. We are opposed to display advertising in the city locations adjacent to fine public buildings, such as the Library on 42nd street, New York; also locations adjacent to public parks, residential sections and boulevards.
THE SPIRIT OF OUR CAMPAIGN DIGNIFIED—COURTEOUS—KINDLY
We are working through Public Opinion only.
We are not recommending boycott, blacklisting, or intimidation of any sort.
We believe that most of the great advertisers, when their attention is called to the present desecration of scenic and civic beauty, will gladly call a halt.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
The National Committee for Restriction of Outdoor Advertising is doing just two things. It is arousing Public Opinion to the danger of allowing the present methods of outdoor advertising to continue. And it is drawing out an expression of the Public Opinion and taking it directly to the adver-
tisers.
The second step is the vital step, and It is the step which has been neglected in previous campaigns against the signboards. The advertiser desires above all else to please the public. If you can carry home to the advertiser the conviction that the public resents the signboards where they destroy scenic and civic beauty, the advertiser wiV to use those boards.
