Are you in Favor of Changing the Name of This City? No!!
This advertisement, originally found in the Berlin Record, was placed by citizens opposed to changing the name of Berlin. Arguments against the name of Berlin, such as it was bad for business and unpatriotic are refuted in this advertisement. Despite vocal opposition, the majority of Berliners voted in favour of a change of name for the city in May 1916.
