HOW NATIONAL ADVERTISING INCREASES DEALERS
PROFITS ON A DECREASED INVESTMENT
tcopyrisht-MaMory, Mitchell & Faust

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Mitchell g. Faust)
1t is a matter of economy for dealers to handle nationally adj
vertsed products. 1t is ECONOMY from the standpoint Of CAPT
TAI INVESTED in stock.
This is based upon the principle of CONSUMER ACCEPT
ANcE, which is created by the advertising. Inasmuch as the adver-
brands are ACCEPTABLE to every class Of trade, the dealer
NEED sell only advertised brands.
This means that the MINIMUM OF CAPITAL is required for
a sufficient stock Of goods upon which to do business. A large
amount of capital is not tied up in slow moving stock which is &C.
ceptable to only a PART of his trade. FEWER BRANDS Please
ALL CUSTOMERS.
When unadvertised products are handled, and even pushed bv
the dealer, it is still NECESSARY for him to carry SOME adyer-
brands to meet the demands of PART of his trade.
1t is clearly a matter of economy to carry as few brands as DOS
sible in each line. This condition is brought about by the dealer
handling that class of products acceptable to ALL.
Not only does specialization on brands acceptable to all mean
less capital invested, but it means a greater return from a given
amount of capital through 1p increased rapidity of turnover:
For example, a dealer who can supply the demands of his trade
with two advertised brands Of baked beans will TURN HIS STOCK
MORE OFTEN than that dealer who must carry several brands to
supply the same quality of trade.
This means that every dollar will yield a return more frequently
to the first dealer than to the latter.
1t means TWICE AS GREAT AN INCOME from each dollar
of capital.
Dealers are. beginning to see that the MARGIN OF PROFIT
on a single sale is not of as great consequence as the MBER OF
TIMES they can make SALES FROM H SAME DOLLAR.
1t is better business to make 4 soSs<, yield a 20% profit four
times in a year than to have it yield a 25> prs6t twice a year.
The advertised brands are clearly the most profitable products
to handle, Z. -~ ---

common interest, and on the right of the people to deter
mine the management Of their affairs tor themselves. 1t
is in this that the socialistic organization has lacked.
There is, in that organization. as we have it in this state,
10 such thing as the democratic spirit. The work has been
carried on in a spirit Of complete autocracy, and no
member of the quasi organization which has been ere
ated has or can have any voice whatever in the man
agement of it's affairs.
Those who may be placed in positions Of leadership
in the new movement must and will have a different
ideal. They must In fac. be the representatives Of the
masses 81. d be responsible to them. And in the shaping
Of plans which will he workable and effective there will
be opportunity for the exercise of both wisdom and pa

LET CENSORS BE
NEWSPAPER MEN
Frank P. sibley in Leshe's.

Two Boston reporters who were
stationed at Columbus, N. NJ, last
summer during the near-war with
Mexico have suggested to- the adj
jutant general Of the United States a
plan to organize newspaper men vol
unteers for their most effective serv-
ice to the country in the event Of
war, pointing out that the training of
such men fits them especially for
dispatch carrying. which demands in
genuity perseverance and some
age; for the intelligence department
whose work is very similar to the re-
porter's; for the propaganda, which
is newspaper work outright, and for
the censorship.
Judging by what I saw at Column
bus last summer, censorship under
present conditions, II hostilities should
ship upon the public and the news
papers. 1t was handled by army off,
GERS who, under the regulations,
must have had some newspaper ex-
periencaf' By at least one army
censor this was translated to mean
having been good friends at one
time with newspaper men,"
There was a censor at Columbus,
and another with Pershing's COL
uItll. but tNefe was none at Dem.
ing and none at Ell Paso, at both Of
which places the wire facilities were
better than those at the base head
quarters. When Pershing's column
started across the border, a train was
just leaving for Columbus for Ell Paso.
Passengers on the train saw the COL
m forming; the newspaper men
knew that FL Paso would get the
fact, yet they couldn't send it. Some
of them motored to Deming; others
went on the train to Ell Paso. All of
them beat the censorship.
They beat 1t whenever the impor-
lance of the news and the certainty
Of its leaking out elsewhere seemed
to warrant them. More than that,
they showed that, knowing the chan
nels through which the censor can be
beaten. they know also how to plug
those channels. In other words. the
only effective censorship will be n
established by newspaper men them
selves.
A newspaper man, better than an
army officer, knows how andSwhen
news may be published; how to state
a main fact without putting in the
betrayfng details and how to make
censorship efficient.

WHY AMERICA WAITED.

Chicago Herald: America has at least the salts
faction of knowing that her motives for entering the war
are fairly understood in England. In his eloquent COM
ment upon the accession of a new ally in the war for
democracy Premier Lloyd George showed that he at least
appreciated both the United States and the democratic
principle. Long will his words be remembered.
For 1t 10 true that America waited until she found
a causes worthy of her traditions" 1t is true that "the
American people held back until they were fullv con-
WINGED that the fight was not a sordid scrimmase for
power and possessions, but an unselnsh struggle to over
throw a sinister conspiracy against human liberty and
human right"
The democracy, the hope Of liberty and the passion
for human rights which led President Wilson to pledge
the latent potentialities Of the greatest republic to the
prosecution OF this war are also the motives inspiring
England, France, Belgium and the new Russia. A the
spokesman for the British imperial council Lloyd George
recognized this truth, and in so doing gave to it an
emphasis which must contribute to that new orienta-
ton" of the governments Of the world toward Justice
for all.

AUSTRIA ALSO

The action of Austria in severing relations with the
United States may or may not lead to the declaration Of
a state of war between the two countries. but whether SO
or not, the situation will necessarily be that of war in all
but the aspect of physical conflict. This was inevitable,
distinctions can continue to be made between Germany
and any of her allies.
The four central powers are making common cause
against the entente allies. Each group is separate, and
each has been welded by the necessities Of the war into
a compact unit. For the purposes of the war, the cause
of Germany Is the cause of Austria, of Bulgaria and of
Turkey. The armies Of these powers are being used in
cooperation with each other. If not in actual form and
organization, at least in general purpose and effect, the
ty, and the agencies of every kind possessed by one are
used for the benefit of all. This is true, as we'll, of the
of the opposing group. There is no such thing
as individ uaism among the nations in this war. And.
whether willingly or not. the nation that is at war with
one member of a group, must consider itself as at war
with the entire group.
1t is obviously impossible that while we are at war
with Germany we should permit the agents Of her allies
the freedom Of action within our country which the MAIN
tenance of the forms Of friendship involve. Long before
our severance Of relations with Germany we found it
ticipation in conspiracies injurious to the United States.
Those conspiracies were, as a matter of fact, parts Of a
program in the carrying out of which the governments
of Germany and Of Austria were Jointly engaged. AUS
trials action just now will hasten the withdrawal Of Aus
TRAN agents from the United States, a withdrawal which
would in any event have become necessary.

RUssIA's GOLD REGIME"

No doubt before the account is settled a very heavy
price will have to be paid for the extirpation Of such a
malignant growth. The Old Regime in Russia, like the
Old Regime in France, may require for its eradication a
generation Of revolutionary unrest. Like the Old Regime
in France. 1t may infect with its poisonous virus the in
situations and the men by which it is supplanted. But
whatever these consequences are. they should be ac-
cepted without finching. The Russian Bureaucracy was

people and the progress of the world. The price which
has to be paid for it's final extinction can be paid with
