The value of selling the architect

{S the professional adviser of his ^ ^ client, the architect is in a position where he determines the purchase of building materials.

Nearly 90% of all the building operations in the country are either corDpletely controlled, or largely influenced by architects.' Even where buildings areerected without the services of an architect, the choice of materials is largely made in emulation of work which has been designed by architects.

Hence the fact that our nationwide advertising campaign includes some nine different advertising publicarions, with a circulation totaling about 70,000, although thereare only 7,000 architecturalofices in the country. Most offices subscribe to three or four architectural publications, and in many cases several members of the same organization subscribe to the same magazine. So whatever archite&ural publication an architect picks up to read, he is apt to find one of our advertisements in it.
