A STRONG ZENITH POSTER
Following closely on the heels of,
the recently staged "'National Zenith
Automatic Week," which made
radio sales history, the Zenith Ra-
dio Corporation has entered into an
extensive national outdoor display
advertising campaign with the Gen-
eral Outdoor Advertising Company.
Zenith distributors and dealers
throughout the country are rapidly
falling in line with the excellent co-
operative tie-up offered them, with
adequate showings being contracted
for daily in the various towns and
cities.
Number one of the series of at-
tractive posters is shown herewith.
This will be. followed by a striking
"Automatic" poster, each succeed-
ing month to see a new design on
the boards. The simplicity of de-
sign, attractiveness of color com-
binations and the bold short, snappy
copy of Zenith posters place them
in an enviable outstanding position
in the outdoor advertising field.
TO VOTE ON MUNICIPAL BAND
At Marquette, Mich., City Election in December, Pro-
posal for Band Tax Will Be Voted On
It is probable that taxpayers of Marquette, Mich.,
at the city election the first Monday in December, will
have an opportunity to vote on the question of
whether money should be raised there by taxation to
support a city band.
Some time ago a petition, bearing about 9(X) signa-
tures, was presented to the city commission request-
ing that the matter of financing a city hand by a tax
of not more than two mills on the city's valuation, as
authorized by state law, be submitted to the qualified
electors.
The matter was referred to George C. Quinnell,
city attorney, who submitted an opinion that under
the state law the commission, in view of the petition
received, would be obliged to put the proposition to a
vote in December.
The state law stipulates that cities of not more than
50,000 population may raise and appropriate funds, not
exceeding two mills on their valuation, for the main-
tenance of municipal bands, if such authority be given
by a vote of qualified electors, and the law says, also,
that the matter must be submitted to the voters, if
such submission be petitioned for by at least 10 per
cent of the qualified electors.
