116 THE OAKS Above is shown a very clear pictorial explanation of the way in which The Oaks advertising solicitors do their work. Although the process of selling advertisng for The Oaks is not confined to the activities of only one solicitor, nor to only one advertiser. as shown here, nevertheless this picture is typical of what takes place. In this instance, Charles Millar, a senior advertising solicitor of more than ordinary enthusiasm, is explaining the value of Oaks display advertising to Mr. John Vandervelde, local Mr. Vandervelde is a graduate of Muskegon Heights High School and therefore, with the problem which each year confronts the senior class. He is merchant. is well acquainted, also aware of the value of good will, and certainly does his share toward proving its value. Such cooperation as this. which is typical of all merchants and manufacturers who each year see their way clear to assist the graduates. cannot fail to bring good results. now and later. A WORD TO OUR ADVERTISERS Allison Blanshino Advertising Manager lt is obvious that the cost of pub- lishing a book of this kind is very high. XYhen subscribers and adver- tisers are the only source Of income, it means the closest sort of cooperation in order to make The Oaks possible. XYithout the assistance of advertisers, the annual senior class yearbook would be one half as large and one half as valuable to the seniors and their families. NVe did not raise the advertising rate, but chose rather to solicit lar- ger, and more, advertisements and to ask for more subscriptions. XVe are pleased to say we have gone over the top. In every community, worthwhile projects are supported and sponsored by the leaders in the community. Vtfe feel that our advertisers are among the leaders of this community and we cannot speak too highly of the good will and genial audience given our so- licitors, Not only does your good will help us morally and linanoally, but it shows a loyalty toward civic progress, toward our high school. It shows a faith in us who are still young. This type of spirit gives us added conti- dence: it makes us feel that there are many, with whom we must deal in the fast approaching weeks and months, who stand for the ideals and kind of life in which we have been taught to believe. Those of us who were privileged to solicit the advertising contained in the following pages, feel highly repaid for the contacts we have made with you. This opportunity to do business is not presented to everyone, nor to every senior. In this very practical and per- sonal way, we are grateful to you. In a larger sense, the entire school is grateful to all our advertisers. NVe shall not forget what our advertisers have done.
