IS 1T ADVERTISING? NO! IT'S
EXPENSE ONLY.

The Virginia Enterprise knows
how the merchants and all business
people of the city can save thou
sands of dollars year. One of the
biggest leaks in all businesses is adj
vertising "so-called" adver-
Using. Most of the money that is
spent for the so-cAlled advertising
should be charged in the "expense'
rather than in the advertising &C
count. A large part of it is graft.
Well dressed young men-and some
times women-come around with a
plausible story, with wall map or
a hanger or a program or a. time
table or something-anythin to get
the attention of the man in business
and too frequently they go out with
the order The people along Chest
nut street have an opportunity of
patronizing one of these solicitors
with a proposition without merit, on
an average of at least one a day the
year through. The aggregate that
is taken out of Virginia annually for
which no value is returned runs into
the thousands of dollars. There is
only one way to eliminate all that
expense that has ever been found

successful. 1t is for the people in
business, perhaps through the Com
mercial club, to have an advertising
committee which shall investigate
and endorse every advertising plan
that comes into the city, before the
merchants will patronize it. Ninety
per cent of the schemes for separat-
ing the business man from his mon
ey would never get by the commit
tee. With this plan in effect 100
houses in Virginia would save $50
or more each per year which would
be saving of $4,000 a year or more.
To make it effective the plan would
have to carry with it, and does car
ry with it, in cities where it is in
operation successfully, penalty for
violation; that is the merchant who
patronizes the fake solicitor who has
not had his plan endorsed by the
advertising committee, shall be
liable to fine for the violation of
agreement with his fellow business
men. The $4,000 estimate is con-
sentative. This is plan that could
! be worked out most successfully
through the agency of the CONNER
cial club 1t is one that would pro-
tect the merchant from the hold
up solicitors and the grafters. II
