Statistics show clearly that most goods can be sold more cheaply and effectively thru advertising than in any other form. Advertising, when properly used, ts considerably cheap- jer than selling thru salesmen and jclerks, Not only is the coat per sale less, but when selling thru the news- | papers or the mails the maker knov t what he promises. wever, who de ere carpe uses for w electric in A comp ] The firm, ig upon a crew es not always know what th nen promise, There © many other economic advanta d thru the intelligent use constructive advertising. Finally, jto call advertising, The history he advertising agent will | be similar to the history of the bank- er. Banking, as you khow, started with the pawnshop, The loaning of of salesmen ¢ aale ral of ‘ultima j@nd carried on under cover by ques- |tionable people, Usury was not only banned by the church, but by legis- lation. It was only comparatively a few years ago, considering history as a whole, when banking was recog- nized as a legitimate business. BANKS HELP TO STABILIZE BUSINESS “During the past 100 years banking | has gone thru various stages, and | the present generation has been en- | gaged in constructive banking. The Jcountry 18 now learning that the jbanker has a great opportunity in| steadying business conditions, there- by eliminating reckless booms and preventing needless panics, "tt has been learned that by in- creasing the bank rate, during periods of over-expansion, a panic can be prevented. Then by lowering the rate during periods of depression, prosperity can be brought back. It has been learned that the bank rate that the governor bears to an engine. | Hence, the banks have been rpcently united in the federal reserve tystamn which can- control the discount rate with the sole object of eliminating reckless booms and preventing need- less panics, ‘ THE THREE FACTORS OF BUSINESS “If, however, you will talk with jany bank man, thoroly informed in economics, he will tell you that the goal cannot be reached except with the help of the advertising men of the country and the transportation systems, “The three greatest factors ef- fecting business are money rates, advertising rates, and trans. portation rates, Given control of these three factors one can go a long way in eliminating the hills and valleys of business, "The federal reserve board is doing |ns well as it can with only one of | these tools, but at present it is like @ carpenter with only a hammer, and without a saw or chisel, The inter. ; | State commerce commission; which |controls the rates of transportation, have the saw; but the advertising men have the chisel, Some day your ‘Associated Advertising Clubs of the World’ will take up the question of using advertising rates as a tool in jconnection with the steadying of business conditions, ADVERTISING NEEDED S$ STABILIZER “When business is recklessly ex- panding, advertising rates should be materially increased; so that when business -is depressed advertising rates may be correspondingly re duced, One of the best barometers of business is the size of our dally papers. I do not want to reduce the size of our papers over a period of years. Rather, I nt to see them continue to increase In size. I, how- ever, do object to a big paper one yenr and a small paper the next year, Business conditions will become steady and gradually increase only when the amount of advertising be. comes steady and gradually increases, Violent fluctuations in advertising are not merely the result of fluctua. tion in business; but are largely the caus “A congern stops because ifs business has fallen off, but the fact of its stopping advertising makes business still worse than it otherwise would be, “To speak statistically, advertising begins to fall off because business begins to decline, but business de. clines to the depth much worse than it otherwise would because advertis. is decreased, The changing of advertising rates and railroad rates in accordance with the Babsonchart would not only greatly benefit bust ness as a whole, but would benefit those whe have advertising space to sell and those who have trangporta, tion to soll, “Business in every advertising way will be recognizes | | Money in its early stages was looked | |Upon as a most illegitimate business bears the same relation to business | :| Advertising Important as our own ch s Work Done By our rail | i | |money for | furnishings. | mists have joined the movement, feel- j shall have what I like |t? time to extending the membership SEES INFLUX OF TOURISTS National Advertising Gets Results, Says Schoenfeld | tle by Herbert tandard Furnitu rned Thursd from roia choenfeld was | te at the conven. f the Retail Fur the Pacific Coast the biggest influx tory of the city feld. “The rtlsing that All-Year-Round Angeles and the Califor- | Incorporated, of San Francisco, bringing swarms of tourists into fornia, The advertis by ber of commerce and will pull them all up| It Is beginning to get warm in lifornia, and the & for our cooler climate “There is evident a be among the Coast cities.
