COST OF CAR ADVERTISING
Not So Great As People Gen
orally Believe.

The enormous cost of automobile ad
vertising has often astonished the pub
lie. Many persons believe the cost per
car must be greater than the advertis-
ing cost on any other commodity. John
n. WHY'S, one Of the largest automo-
bile advertisers, figures that the cost
Of Overland advertising last year was
only pa per cent Of the value Of each
car sold. And he says that, while his
advertising appropriation increases
year by year. the cost per car is con-
stantly reduced by reason of his in
creased production.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

When the outbreak of hostilities in
Europe absorbed the attentions of the
belligerent powers. and their manu-
featuring facilities were so taken up
with the business at hand that they
were unable to continue the pursuit of
the elusive pound, franc and mark in
South American markets there was a
great outcry in America that oppor-
tunity would shortly knock at other
doors with positive thumps and it be-
hooved the American business man TO
prepare TO get his share.
How successfully the American bus
mess man has gone about initiating
South America into the excellence of
American goods is attested by the re-
port of the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce in which is published
statistics Of our new tropical trade ad
vances during the month Of September
From this report it appears the ex-
ports from the United States to the
South American republics IN Septem-
Der, 1915. amounted to s16,93S,7t7. For
the same month In 1914 our exports
were but $S,2SS,sSl, so II will be seen
that exports to South American com
tries hare more than doubled in the
year.
While reports from the United States
have been attaining such excellent
/ heights South American countries have
