Why and How the Times Is Giving This Service The sales department of every big enterprise spends hundreds and thousands of dollars yearly increas ing the demand for their product and murh of this Is spent for good will. This is true of the Circulation Department of the Daily Times, which is our sales department. Instead of spending our money next year for some other form of advertising we give our readers the benefit through this insurance plan. This paper is not entirely unselfish in making this proposition to its readers. True, the Times was actu ated primarily by a desire to give its readers protection. We admit there are some business reasons be hind our offer. Here is how we figure—How can the Daily Times spend its money to better advantage in creating good will than by giving its readers a real service and protection like this insurance plan? Our present readers will be even more loyal to us than in the past. They will also tell their friends about the Daily Times and will be our best salesmen. Contracting for so many policies at one time, the price to us is naturally very low. Moreover the in surance company saves the commission they allow their solicitors, which further enables them to reduce the price to the Daily Times., By no other means could the Daily Times secure SO MANY LOYAL SALESMEN, who will work for us 365 days in the year. Considering all this the individual cost is low. Moreover a salesman working for a salary is not nearly as effective as a loyal reader, who voluntarily acts as our salesman. True, this plan of promoting good will for the Daily Times and increased sales will undoubtedly cost us more than under an old plan, but we will get more for it. Soon our increased circulation will bring us more advertising and this will further help make up any deficit. This way we kill two birds with one stone. We benefit our readers. We benefit ourselves.
