Advertising Reduces Cost ‘There are some people who belleve that advertising adds to the cost of the article which is advertised. Let it be admitted right now, that 1t costs money to advertise an article and that of course the cost of ad- vertising must be added to the cost of making and selling it. There can be no controversay as to that. Where the difference arises, 18 no the point as to whether the adver- tising does not unduly add to the cost. which the consumer pays. Some peo- ple claim that it does. Some years ago, most of the wash- ing was done in the old fashioned way, with a wash board and & good deal of back-breaking labor. Then somebody concelved a ma- chine which would do the rubbing, and he thought that everybody would be so enthusiastic over the new ma- chine that _he would be able to sell it wherever he offered it. But he soon found, that people didn’t go out of thelr way to find out about his machine. He would most likely have, starved if one day there hadn't come | & chap whose business it was to per- suade manufacturers to spend money for advertising. The fellow told a good story and succeeded .in convincing the washing machine manufacturer, that advertising was’ the tonic he needed to stimulate the sale of his machine. Presently his adventisements appeared .in trade publications, then in magazines, and one find day the manufacturer found || It ‘necesary to provide for the en- largement of his factory, in order to make enough machines to fill thel| orders which had come in response to his advertising. ‘His machine today sells for consid- erably less than he charged when hel| first started in business, and the only réason why it can be sold at this low rice Is, that through advertising the || sales have become so large that the’ cost of making has been reduced. All the improvements which have| been added have been given to the || consumer without extra charge—be- cause of the greater sale, due to the advertising.
