on Advertising

Merchants know that, III spite of
war conditions, many commodities
have not advanced greatly in price.
They know that some things are
costing far less than the economic
conditions might warrant.
They know that the average man
and woman have an impression that
"the high cost of living" applies to
all things needed in living.
Thus the merchants have an OPP
portunity to tell the truth in detail
to their customers. They may ex-
plain the rising of some necessities.
and the slighter increases in the
costs of many other commodies.
Particularly may the merchants
emphasize, in their advertising, the
strange fact that a majority of So
called Dackage goods, nationally ad-
vertjseG products, have not adj
vanced at all in selling price, even
while manufacturing costs have
greatly increased.
The manufacturer of a widely ad-
vertised article or commodity, the
selling price of which has been fixed
in the public mind through long wears
of familiarity, must now rely upon a
larger volume of sales than usual
if he is to avoid serious manufact-
Uring losses. The merchant should
help him win this larger distribu-
ton, thus serving at once fire public
interest and the interes;of tie manu-
facturer who prefers to stand by his
peace time prices for his commodities
If advertising had performed no
other service for the people than
this service Of having made it posi-
BILE for manufacturers to maintain
moderate prices under war condi-
tons, advertising would have fully
justified itself.
Store advertising. in these days.
should carry price news that has in
it an element of good cheer. Such
news will be widely and eagerly
read, and will have an important
part in safeguarding the country
from the dangers of a period of
needless and senseless Economics"
For while it is true now, as in neace
times, that WASTE IS CRIMINAL.
it is equally true that to deprive ones
self of needed things is a species Of
false economy which has no iust1f-
cation in either logic or conditions.

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, June 11.-There was
a further sharp advance in the cot
ton market today with new high re
cords established for both old and
new crop deliveries The continued
strength of the Liverpool market was
accompanied by English buying or
ders, and the market here opened
firm at an advance Of q to q points.
July contracts sold at 1859, Octo-
Der at 23.01 and December at 2317
on the call or u to q points net
higher. These prices, however, met
heavy realizing with the tendency
to take profets also promoted by a
favorable view of the weather map,
and there waere reactions of several
points during the early trading.
Offerings were readily absorbed
on moderate setbacks after the open
ing advance. with the demand again
attributed largely to trade interests.
and the market developed renewed
strength later in the morning. BY
midday July contracts had sold at
1890 and October at 23:42, or 81 to
81 points net higher. The volume of
business then tapered off and fluctua-
lions became rather nervous and II
regular early in the noon hor.
After selling IS to SO points net
higher, the market was less active
and rather nervous toward the midE!e
of the afternoon. Prices showed re-
actions of 7 or 8 points around .

WHEAT RALLY AT CLOSE

Chicago, June 11.-Improved crop
prospective gave the bears an ad-
vantage today in the wheat trade
Business, however, continued to be
very limited in volume. Opening
prices which ranged from 1 cent de-
clined to lie decline with July at
PA to 2.35 and September at 202
were followed by a material setback
all around, and then something of a
rally.
Favorable weather held to free all
ing of corn and to a sharp decline
in prices. The break was checked
By an official forecast indicating a re-
newal of low temperature and unwel-
come rain. After opening 5-S to 2
1-2c lower the market steaded at
moderate reaction from the lowest
level touched at the outset,
Oats sagged with corn. Buying pow
er was limited except at adecline.
Lower quotations hogs weakened
provisions. Selling though was not
of an aggressive character.

ADDRESSED TO MERCHANTS
Keep Business on the Upward Trend


In fighting to keep business active
and prosperous the merchant is fight
ing for his country-just as surely
as is the man behind the gun,
Our enemies would rejoice at an
appearance of business stagnation in
our country more than they would
rejoice at a series of victories for
their arms against our forces. They
would see in stricken businesses and
industries the sure sign of national
weakness 2: home, with its sure re-
action ubon our fighting effective
ness at the fronts.
The business man who "ouits. !"
who slackens his efforts to keep trade
healthy and active, is as unpatriotic
rs would be the soldier who should
funk in the face OF tHo enemy. We
SHALL HAVE NO SCCI1 SOLDIERS
NOR SHOULD WE HAVE AM
SUCH BUSINESS MEN!
This country must be the main
stay, commercially, of all our allied
nations in this war. Upon our in
dustrial strength they must be ever
welcome to rely for the sinews of
war, for the material things which
contribute to military success in the
fight to make the World safe for
democracy"
Advertising, the force which in
peace and in war times keeps bust
ness going keeps trade stimulated,
keeps people informed about their
buying tasks-advertising must play
now and hereafter, a stronger part
in the nations life than ever before.
1t affords the merchant his channel
of communication with his customers
with those upon whose t~de he
must rely for his business prosper
ity, and to whom his store means
a service institution.
Merchants, through their adver-
Using, may keep the people heart
ened and optimistic. They may
counterfeit the influence of the pes
simist who not onlv fears to act
courageousIy in business affairs but
who tries to influence others to Join
his company of "quitters.
Merchants must HAVE conf
dence-and they must PREACH
