PPPLDIPDHDLOOHGPOHEPOIE OO PG PPOOCOOOROOCOO®ES® WHO PAYS THE ADTERTISING BILLS? Paradoxical at is may seem, neith- er the merchant nor the consumer pays for effective advertising. That's a statement best proved by the ar- gument of facts and homely illustration. figures an: If a merchants’ business were cut in two, it was easy mathematics to conclude that, if he could double his volume of business, the loss would be retrieved and competition still be met So the idea grew, and stores alous with it and the faith in advertising Given, now, two stores equal in all ways in attractiveness and location. each under the same expense, and selling a staple article, not the same make but the same thing let us say, each store makes an exact dollar pro- fit on each sale and each store makes ten thousand sales a year. Neither store advertises until one concludes to forego a part of preseat profits and to invest a thousand dol- lars a year in advertising and does so. Sales increase in number say to 11,- 000 the first year; the second year to 12,000; the third to 13,000; the fourth to 14,000; the fifth to 15,000. Here let us stop and come to con- clusions before the advertising store gets all the other store’s business. The advertising store has sold, in five years 15,000 more of the adver- tised article, made fifteen thonsand more dollars and invested only five thousand dollars to do it— that mon- ey was profit, not capital. The case is not complete, of coursc —the increased volume of sales brought some increase in expense— no more light, no more heat, no more rent and not so much more for sales- men, probably none in the stated case, for no store is yet so big but near every salesman could make than double his number of if twice as many customers to the store. Besides, with increased business and its new importance, the wise mer chant has found ways open to large- ly offset any increased expense,gand the business and good will, as a whole, is worth fully thirty per cént. more—all of which has little to do with the main crudely but not exax- gerated illustrated paradoxical prap- osition that neither the merchan' nor the consumer has paid any part of the five thousand dollars invested ln-nd-vertlslng, The merchant hasn’t paid it, for he is ten thousand dollars to the good; the consumer hasnt’ paid it, fcr he got the same article at U same old price—the store that didn t pilvertise paid every dollar of it iv loss of business and profit. more sales came NEWS FOREOAST FUR THE.
