In an authoritative magazine we read: “A certain house eight years ago did an annual business of $3,000,000 and the cost of selling the goods amounted to 8 per cent. Good advertising has since then increased their annual business to vertising expenditures, has fallen to 5 per cent. more money, and the advertising has enabled th commissions are smaller their sales are made ea: volume.” Who paid for the advertising Not the consumer, for the price of the goods. was less than it had been without advertising. - Not the manufacturer, because his total selling cost was 3 per cent less.
