Advertising doubles the eiiic
ency of the clerk, the value of the
store, the power of the merchants
organization.
Only a child could fail to see
that the man who advertises per-
sistently, intelligently, and truth.
fully is saving the money OF those
that purchase from him-inas-
much as he is making it possible
for the same organization, the
same equipment, to do many times
the amount Of business that il
would do without advertising.
And he can take for himself three
or four or five per cent profit on
his sales-instead Of forty per cent
as the non-advertiser must do
and with bis small percentage OF
profit he can become an infinitely
richer man.

MOUNTAINEERING MERCHANTS.

Voice wisely says advertising
has ceased to be Misrepresentation,
and it has become the honest
voice of commerce, the agent of
economy-and the economy must
be clear to all-it can be made
clear in a very few words.
You have a merchant who does
not advertise, He pays a clerk
two dollars a day. And the clerk
sells ten dollars worth of goods.
That means twenty per cent
profit to start with for the clerk
alone.
And then, the store, which rep
fesents high rent, must take its
part of the purchase money for
rent, for heat, for taxes, for insur-
ance, and the proprietor must take
his part.
Where the man who does not
advertise pays two dollars to the
clerk and two dollars for rent, and
dollar for insurance and delivery
and sells ten dollars worth Of
goods, he must take five dollars
for expenses and at least three
dollars for himself-and you gel
two dollars worth of goods.
A man with the same clerk and
the same store, advertising, car
sell one hundred dollars worth o.
goods, so that out of one hundred
dollars he can pay the clerk anC
the rent and the taxes and the
overhead, and take the profit thar
he wants-and the whole thing
amounts to less than One-tenth O.
the amount taken in.
