He condemns all adver- tising and every one connected with it. He argues that the advertising of his competitors is what makes it necessary for him to offer store- keepers a special discount to accept his product and talk it up to their customers. “If any one should accuse this manufacturer of being a constant advertiser, he would very em- phatically deny it. Yetheis! He is a big advertiser—but a very ineffi- cient one. “He is spending at present thru his system of special discounts just double the sum to accomplish a frac- tion of the possible result he could obtain thru investing half the yearly amount of his discounts in educa- tional advertising in the columns of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other newspapers in the different went and cities in which his product is sold. “Educational advertising through the columns of different newspapers was what made the great American public willing to ac- cept and try a product of the kind he manufactures. Educational ad- vertising through the columns of dif- ferent newspapers taught the great American public more and more uses for the product, and made pos- sible a profitable production tale last year for the state of Wash- ington of close to $15,000,000.00. “A few storekeepers may still have time to talk up products to their customers, but where this situ- ation obtains, only a small per- centage of the customers have time to listen to a sales sermon. Custom- ers nowadays are informed of the merits of different products through educational advertising placed in the columns of the newspapers by the manufacturer; and when a store- keeper endeavors to offer something just as good, the suspicion in the mind of the customer that the product may be sub-standard and that the storekeeper is trying to foist something on her, defeats, in a great many instances, his most clever efforts. “Between the storekeeper who no longer has time to talk up prod- ucts, customers who have not time to listen to a sales sermon and cus- tomers who are suspicious of articles that are just as good, the potency of the special discount efforts of this manufacturer we have been trying to interest in newspaper advertising are reduced to such a degree of in- effectiveness that we do not believe it is exaggerated to say that the ac- tual sales effectiveness is but 5 per cent of what is possible through a well-planned, well-prepared, well- executed educational advertising campaign through the columns of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other newspapers in towns and cities in which this manufacturer has dis- tribution.” SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER PREMIER ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Black, 2:10%; by Manrico, and Tho/} WHITE HAS FAST STABLE Ben White pulled in from Ma- {for $5,000 under the hammer at the | during Rose Show.
