Does Advertising Pay?

Over and over again. every day
at almost every interview we hear
the question or the assertion that
it does not.
II does pay, no argument, no
proof Of actual failures can stand
against it. 1t pays, pays well,
pays better in proportion TO its cost
than any other asset in a mans
business.
There are advertisers who are
not deriving the full benefit from
their advertising expenditure, just
as there are others whose money
was lost in the attempt to do the
impossible, but these things arc 20
for good reasoas. One might ju t
as we'll say that business is nc t
/ profitable because some men fail
If advertising is not a profitable
means of increasing general bust
ness, then all business would be un-
profitable. Ever since men have
done business they have advertised.
The advertising has been the way
and means Of attracting business.
1t was only when the art of print
ing was SO improved that people Of
every station in life could afford to
read newspapers and magazines
and railroad and postal facilities
allowed easy and rapid intercourse
between widely separated points,
and business men reached out farth-
er from home for business, and
they began to discover that news
paper and periodical advertising
was the cheapest method they
could find to make their claims for
business to those who bought and
those who sold their wares.
It made possible the great de-
partmeut stores; ii has made salea-
bic practically every article of
merit in demand which these stores
have upon their counters. With
out this means of cheaply telling
about their wares the great stores
of today could not attract sufficient
lpurcl asers to pay their rent
There are few who will assert
that all the chocolates of merits are
made by few we'll known firms,
but these firms have business in
chocolate so extensive that their
names and chocolate are always as
sociated. Why?
1t is folly to assert that Roya
