Who Pays The Cost?

There is a prevailing opinion
among farmers and the people in
general who are not in business,
that the money a merchant paws
for advertising is added to the price
of the goods and that the customer
is the one who really pays the ad-
vertising bills of the merchant.
Naturally, the merchant doesn't
lose any money on the deal, but
many persons express their opinion
so freely on this subject that it
shows they have never given it any
serious consideration.
For instant, we'll take a mer-
chant in a neighboring town. He
was the owner of a mems furnish
ing store and had been selling on
an average of 3 suits of clothes a
day and the profit on each suit was
50. This made a profit of SO day
or S54 for the week. Not long ago
he decide to advertise for one month
and the months advertising cost
him SIS. A cut of 81 was made on
each suit, making his profit only
s. per suit. He practically doubled
his scale and made profit of $I2
a day, or $72 on the week, which
was SIS more per week than he had
made during the non-advertising
week.-Mrs. profit on the month was
S57 over the month before when he
did not advertise.
Now, who paid for the advertis-
ing? Each customer saved 81 on
each suit, the merchant made more
than before and the printer had a
nest egg of SIS. And the question
is-dId anybody lose anything?
This merchant saved the people
of his community SI44 per month
by advertising-and made money
by it himself. Any away went the
foolish notion of saving money by
trading with the merchants who do
not advertise.
