QUANTITY DISTRIBUTION Quantity production has been one of the me- thods by which the cost of manufacturing has been reduced. And similarly, if a retail store can double its sales, it will make many of the same economies thet are accomplished by quantity production. The principal method of accomplishing quan- tity distribution is through advertising. It usually takes a long time to induce people to buy at a store, wless it has some extremely favorable location, unless that concern makes some special effort to nitract the people and secure their interest. The people like the enterprise and push of an advertised store, and they flock to such a place, and enable it to make the economies created by quantity dis- tribution.
