HOW ADVERTISING CUTS i
SELLING COST
vitallv imnnrtant
1 P
The present agitation on the high
cost of living has led to some inves
tigations which have brought out a
lot of facts hitherto unknown to the
public. Some of the most important
work in this line is being done by
the Association of National Adver
tisers, an organization of 260 of the
of the country.
Mr. Sullivan, the secretary-treasur
er of the association, has given out
facts con
eerning the relation of advertising
t 0 selling cost.
"The old idea," said Mr. Sullivan,
"that the cost of advertising raises
i"âd 7 ]hff"'âdverti 3 ff
prices dies hard. But the business
man knows better. He knows that
selling goods is costly business—no
matter what jhe goods or what the
selling methods. And he knows
that anything which creates demand
on a large scale, ^nd thus makes sell
ing easier is bound to reduce selling
costs and thus helps to reduce prices,
"But evidence is better argument;
facts are better than theories, and
we have been at great pains to col
lect the facts. We have secured an
immense amount of data from our
members which prove that adver
tising does reduce selling costs and
thus tends to reduce the selling price
of advertised goods.
advertising twenty-eight years
Let me quote I
j
a few examples:
"The makers of a famous photo- !
gi aphic camera, when they began j
ago, i
made one camera which took a two j
a far :
and one half picture and which sold j
at $25. Today they make
better camera which sells for $10.
Another which took a 4 by 5 picture,
sold for $60. Today they sell a far
better one for $20. And so on
through the line,
"A prominent hat manufacturer,
by means of advertising, reduced
his selling cost 7 cents per hat. Re
.
quality at no increase in price; this
despite increased cost of raw mater
i.l and worknianship.
"When the manufacturer of a
famous breakfast food specialty be
gan advertising his goods sold at 15
cents a package. Today the package
is 50 per cent larger and the price
j has been reduced to 10 cents. Again
1 advertising did it, the same causes
suit, the. buyer gets a hat of better i
advertism,
| producing the same results
1 "The producer of another well
known food specialty is selling his
goods 25 per cent less to the
wholesale grocery trade than four
years ago.
"Twenty years ago a nationally j
advertised shaving stick was sold in ;
a cheap metal leatherette covered j
box. Today a stick containing 20 1
per cent more soap is sold in a hand-.
some nickel box at the same price, j
"Then take the most conpicuous
example of them all—the automo
bile business; and compare the $5,
000 or $10,000 cars of ten years ago
with the equally good cars of today,
selling for a fraction of the money.
"And so on through a long list,
every case, the manufacturer either
has been able to lower the price or
improve the quality at no increase
in price."
How has he done it? By means
of advertising, whic.h has created
demand on a large scale and thus
permitted production and distribu
tion on a large scale. Result, im
proved manufacturing efficiency
and reduction of selling costs. And
all of this in the face of a steady in
crease in eost of labor and raw ma
terials which, with advertising elimi
nated, might in many cases have
doubled the prices of the goods.
"A triumph of economical market
ing" is the only possible verdict for
advertising in the face of these facts

REMEMBER THE EIGHT P's
To the Citizens of Louisiana,
Dear Friends:
Fcr quick, patriotic preparedness:
poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas, pump
kins, and peanuts.
We appeal to you to give special
attention to more poultry. If every
one will set only one more hen and
raise ten additional chickens, it will
mean considerable in meat and eggs.
It can be done.
If everyone will raise just one or
two more pigs, it will mean consi
derable meat increase.
It everyone will only increase the
potato acreage by one or two acres,
it will surely help.
If possible plant Porto Rico,
Dooley or Nancy Hall sweet potatoes
It don't cost anymore to grow good
yams than it does to grow inferior
varieties.
Everyone should plant at least
one acre of blackeye, crowder or
whip-poor-will peas. They are fine
when green and can be gathered and
dried for. winter use.
Pumpkins can be planted in any
old place; fence corners, vacant lost,
etc. Pumpkins are good not only for
pies, but the dried pumpkins make
splendid meal. Fifty per cent pump
kin meal and fifty per cent corn
meal make excellent corn bread. In
fact it is lighter than bread made of
all corn meal, and really better than
all corn meal bread,
Peanuts are a fine erop for hu
man consumption, poultry and pigs.
Everybody get busy and remem
patriotism, pre
paredness, poultry, bigs, potatoes,
her the eight P's :
peas,
pumpkins and peanuts.
Yours truly,
