Washington, March 28.—Preliminary arrangements for the coordination of all government advertising of a national scope through a national advertising board were made today at the navy and war departments.
The purpose of the board, the services of which have been offered to the government without cost, is to determine the advertising medium to be employed to secure soldiers or workmen in any emergency.
As a measure of preparedness in the event a big volunteer army is raised, copies of all the posters and literature used in England are now en route. The commission is headed by President Houston of the National Advertising Association.
Mr. Houston described the object sought as being the distribution of advertising, calling for the mobilization of men for money and for war purposes.
Secretary McAdoo has also been consulted.
The advisory board is composed of men of wide experience and who have themselves nothing to sell, either directly or indirectly.
