THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT Of
money spent for advertising every
year by the progressive business men
of the United States and other nations
is entertainingiy discussed by
Victor Mafa5a in the International
Quarterly for December March. Mr..
Mataja has found that in this
country the sum Of $500, 900. 900 is
expended annually in newspaper
and other forms Of advertising.
That is roughly. at the rate Of SIC a
second. s1.l41 an hour, 81, G43, $50 a day.
Is advertising profitable? The answer
seems 20 have been given in the above
figures.
The best business men in the country
are the men who advertise the most
judiciously. The men who have made
the greatest fortunes I'm mercantile
pursuits are the men who have kept
their goods prominently before the pub
lie all the year round They may not
have persuaded people to buy more
goods, for the people viii buy just
20 MANY goods. year In and year out
but they have persuaded the people
that their goods are better than the
goods Of other manufacturers. That
they get back the thousands they spend
IN advertising is evidenced by the fact
that they keep on advertising
Mr.. Mataja declares that IL so much
money were not spent for advertising
the public would be able to secure
many articles at half the prices
rsHr
attributed to the heavy advertising ex-
pense. This is perhaps true IN some
cases. The consumer eventually pays
for the advertising, just as he pays the
freight and the wages ana the interest
on the money and the per cent for
wear and tear and for possible loss in
transit and all those things. Bat,
strange though the statement may ap-
rear at this day and date. there are
men who do not advertise.
Such men can be found in Salt Lake
City In their ranks are representa-
tive5 Of all businesses. from dry goods
TO groceries. Il is true they are hard
to find because. as their names do not
appear in the newspapers. you don't
know where to look for them. Still. if
you search diligently you viii find
them. And when you have found one
Of them. say a dry goods merchant, try
to buy from him any staple article for
less than you can buy the same thing
for from some merchant who does ad-
vertise. Notwithstanding the fact
that the unprogressive merchant has
no advertising bin he viii charge you
just as much as the other fellow who
pays heavy advertising bills monthly
The reason is not FAR away The man
who advertises turns over his stock
very much oftcner than the man who
doesn't advertise. His sales are larg-
er and he can therefore make his mar
gins closer. He makes less money per
sale than the non-advertiser. but he
makes so many more sales that his
profits at the end of the year are very
much heavier in the aggregate That's
why it pays to advertise and that's
why you don't have to argue the ques-
ton with business men whose methods
are really modern.
