WHEN WE THINK of Advertis;n,

WHEN WE THINK of Advertising
success we, naturally, call to mind
such concerns as manufacturers of
Uneeda Biscuit, Wrigley's Spearmint
Gum, Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes,
or others, whose expenditures for Ad-
vertising run into the thousands of
dollars every year.
THERE ARE quite a number of US
: who do not realize that the same fea-
lures which make the expenditure of
enormous amounts PROFITABLE for
large manufacturers, would apply to
our own cases.
TO ILLUSTRATE that a
manufacturer appropriates $50O,O0O
for the purpose of popularizing a
brand of breakfast food.
HE MUST, necessarily cover a very
large field with his appropriation or it
would not be profitable.
SHOULD HE restrict his efforts to
one state, for instance, he could not
hope to sell a sufficient quantity of his
product to pay for his advertising
from the profits for the reason that
there is not sufficient population in
any one state to consume the requisite
yamOunt.
HE WOULD, with an appropriation
of the amount mentioned, cover the
entire United States
HIS EXPENDITURE in Pleasant
vile would probably amount to about
$50 for the year.
WHETHER Newspapers or Maga-
zines were used, each city would be
charged for a definite Advertising ex-
penditure.
EVERY GREAT BUSINESS Sue

ONE GREAT FACTOR R-ADVER-

THIS GREAT FACTOR" is just

y THE ONLY DIFFERENCE is that
the large appropriation must cover a
large area while YOU CAN MAKE A
SMALL APPROPRIATION AND
EFFECTIVELY COVER YOUR
COMMUNITY.
p THAT WE HEAR of the large Ad-
vertising success frequently and the
small success rarely does not prove
that there are no small successes
1T is, on the contrary, for the same
reason that we all know about, the
sinking of the Titanic while a smaller

ten years, multiplied by the number

man who had been thirty years in

Accident Disability Benefits.
In the case of accidents occurring in
and due to the performance of work
for the company the employee will
receive for total disability, full pay
for thirteen weeks and half pay for
the remainder of disability, up to six
years.
If the disability is temporary, he
will receive full pay for thirteen
weeks and half pay until able to earn
a livelihood, not exceeding six years.
Sickness Disability Benefits.
Employees who are disabled by
sickness or accident outside of the
regular course of duty after ten years
or more in service, will receive full
pay for thirteen weeks and half pay
for thirty-nine weeks; if from five to
ten years in service, full pay for thir-
teen weeks and half pay for thirteen
weeks; if from two to five years in
service, full pay for four weeks and
half pay for nine weeks. In the case
of employees who have not been two
years in service, heads of depart
ments will be permitted the same dis
cretion as heretofore, in continuing
pay during temporary illness.
Life Insurance.
In the case Of death resulting
from accident in and due to perform
ance of work for the company, an in
surance amounting to three years
pay will be paid to the dependents of
the employee, the maximum payment
being $4,000.
In case of death resulting from
sickness or from accident outside OF

years pay for employees who have
! been ten years or more in service, and
one-half of one years pay for en-
ployees who have been from five to
| ten years in service. the maximum
payment being $4,000.
If any State statutes provide for
more liberal compensation than is pro-
! vided under the Benefit Plan, the
statutory provision will prevail.
Where the employees !, have legal
rights, as in some accident cases, they
will have the option of exercising
/ such rights or accepting the COM
pany's benefits.
The American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company has set aside from its
surplus a fund which provides for
those whom it directly employs, and
also provides a reserve, upon which,
under certain conditions, the Associa-
ted Companies may draw. This fund
is supplemented by funds set aside
bv each company. The total appro-
priations will aggregate something
more than $10,000,000. The benefits,
! it is estimated, will cost annually abb
out 81 200, 900 more than the present
payments on this account.
