Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-02-24

The movement to promote Philadelphia indus
tries begun some weeks ago. has already made some
impression upon manufacturers in other cities
We informed that number of inquiries
have been received from firms looking for factory
locations. One of these was from Chicago
facturer of electrical supplies.
This is encouraging. 1t also however, stirnu-
lates inquiry into the present position of
Philadelphia in the manufacture Of electrical goods
The last census showed that Philadelphia had
As factories making electrical machinery, apparatus
and supplies, Their total products were valued at
$7O65OOO-an average of $4,000 output per fac
tory. The total number of persons engaged in the
industry 2,317.
It is noticeable, however, that Philadelphia has
not distinguished itself as centre of electrical
manufacture. Why? Philadelphia has the raw
materials, the labor and the shipping facilities
Possibly the answer is found in the failure to
sell aggressively.
Electrical goods have been proved very suscep-
tib1e modern selling methods and to national ad-
vertising In 1o13-the last year for which complete
figures are available-there were eight manufac-
turers in this classification using national adverts-
ing extensively. Their total appropriations were
more than $38O,OOO.
One of these manufacturers recently gave the
following striking testimonial to the effect of adver-
tising upon his business He said:
General advertising has unquestion-
ably produced large increase in output
"This increased production has in turn
enabled us to adopt and develop many re-

fnements in manufacture so that we
now building higher quality product than
we did when started to advertise.
"While labor costs have increased
about 20 per cent since we first began to
advertise, have been able to keep the
prices Of our goods as low they
when first started.
In other words, advertising has
enabled us to give the public better arti-
Gle than we could before, and to keep the
price down in the face of increased costs for
labor.
Since the increased consumption of
current consuming devices means increased
use of current, it will also be interesting to
investigate what has happened to the cost
of central station service during this period.
I think investigation of this kind will >,
show that the cost of operating electric
lights and current consuming devices Of all
kinds has been greatly reduced for the gen
eral public during the past 10 years."
We feel particular pride in the development
of this class of advertising because it has been very
largely confined to the SATURDAY EVENING PosT.
The eight advertisers referred to placed "a per cent
of their total advertising in the POST. Several of
them used no other publication.
We hope that the Chicago electrical manufac-
turer who made the inquiry will come to Philadel-
phia.
Quite as valuable however, would be greater
growth of one or two of the As electrical plants
which we already have.
National advertising, well proved in this field
offers the way for this greater growth.
