" for the new year is considered by those In & position to know to be deoldedly encouraging in all sections of the country,” says the employment service's report, “with the supply and demand for labor practically well taken care of, there being in some parta of the country shortages among the trades apd of common labor There is, of course, pome unemploy- ment but nowhere is it alarming or & cause of worry to municijal, county, or state officlals, the indus- trlal outlook being so bright that it is not anticipated this condition will be of leng duratiop.” The continuapce of the increased number of employed during Decém- ber is considered by the labor depart- ment as very remarkable in view of the usual falling off in employment with the coming of bad weather which puts a check on outdoor work. New Britain Conditions. Employment conditions were es- peelally good in New Britain during December with all plants running at least full time and several on oveér- time. There is an actual shortage of common labor and high grade ma- chinists. Improved employmeint conditions are shawn by the report to cxlst also in New Haven, Bridgeport, Water- bury, Hartford, New London, New Britain, Bristol, Ansonia, Winsted, Middletown, Windsor Locks, Stam- ford, Glastonbury, Danbury and Nor- wich. The mest remarkable feature of the entire survey, in the view of the em- ployment service, is that although the winter season has caused a decline in bullding operations in some parts of the country there is nevertheiess con- siderable jpujlding and general out- deor censtruction work going on, in some scctions having reached greater proportions for this time of the year than has been the case ever before. In sbme states highway construction pro- grams have been so mapped out by the engineers in charge that it will he possible to employ their men throughout thé entire winter, while in other states highway construciion work will he pushed forward umtil weather cenditions make it impossi- ble and impracticuble fer gontinuance. Increased employment was noted particularly in railroad shops, iron and steel, paper and printing, chemi- cals and allled products, textiles and thelr products, and sténe, clay and glass products over November, while a decline was found in the number of those employed in llquor and bever- ages, leather and its finished products, vehicles, lumbeg, tobacce. Waterbury, out of the 65 leading industrial centers surveyed showed in- ereased employment over the preeed- ing month for every month of 1922. Bridgeport showed’ an increase for éach of the last four months.

Irving Jester 193 Arch St. Why One Advertising Appropriation Was Increased Theirs is a retail store which spent in one year $12,000 on its advertising which was 5% of their yearly volume, a fair expenditure in their line of business. wth of sales they could easily point out the home- coming of the $12,000 with a fair and reasonable profit in its train. For these two partners that expenditure was a profitable short-term investment. One of the partners spoke up: “John,” he said, “we have a cash profit in the bank from that $12,000, but we have a areater intangible profit by far —it is piled up for us in the minds of every man and woman in the city. It is reflected in the attitude of our bankers. “It {s present in the minds of the manufacturers who sell us. «It is working on the minds and purses of every one of our customers.” “Why,” he continued, vertising we have done, is wor before we began.” The two partners increased their app it is true. 'That was five years ago. Today, for it is in a large city, their appropriation is eight times their original amount. Their standing, with bankers, manufacturers and customers is A-1. Their business has grown and grown in a healthy way. And still as one of them put it— “In the last five years advertising has made money for us. Every cent we spent has come back to us, and brought another with it. But, our real profit—our hig profit frem that advertising is banked in the minds of the poople. Ours is the best known business of its kind in town. And that is wevth a lot of money to us.” WO partners were debating their advertising policy— planning the campaign for the next six months.
