Advertising Guarantees
Quality

(Copyright-Mallory, Mitchell & FausO
When you buy an advertised prod
uct, you buy a guarantee of quality.
In the old days, when goods were
sold in bulk without means of iden-
LITIGATION, when there was no way
for the consumer to tell who the
manufacturer was, the manufacture
er was at liberty to use inferior ma
t@erial, manufacture in an inferior
way without injuring his business.
For the goods were unidentified.
Even should they prove unsatisfac-
tory, there was no way for the con-
sumner to know whose goods they
were or how to avoid them a second
time.
Competition among manufacture
ers was on the basis of PRICE
FIRST at a sacrifice of quality if
this was necessary to meet COMPETE
ton. But now, with the advent of
advertising and trademarks as d
means Of identifying the goods as
the product of a certain manufac-
turer, all this is changed.
QUALITY must now be the first
consideration, with PRICE SEC
ONDARY.
For if the quality proves unsatis-
factory, the consumer will avoid
buying these goods a second time.
The manufacturer will have killed
the market for his product. He cam
not afford to sacrifice quality in a
single unit or package.
The advertising and the trade
mark guarantee the consumer
against inferior goods.

spected provided the novice makes
good at coarse work, trench digging,
hiking and running. as well as at drill
and on parade.
Lacking q chance at hard practice
with ak or spade. the beginner can
make progress by the simple process
of club swinging movements. Club
swinging develops muscles Of limb,
chest. abdomen and back. Help may
be had also by horizontal bar exer-
cises, jumping and climbing. In com
pany work, which Is enlarged team
work, the importance Of these things
appears. Some of the number will be
expert at one thing and set a stand
ard for all to train up to. The recruit
with his speciality will be a teacher
for others and learn from others
wherein he lacks. Here comes into
play the faculty of attention. Every
man knows his own failings and the
merits of another.

SELF TRAINING FOR
THE INFANTRYMAN.
BY CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.

BY CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. kiLMER.
The infantry arm is the main feature
of military force on a large scale
Civilians see more foot soldiers than
horseback fighters and cannoneers.
No special previous training Is neces-
sary to make a fair infantry recruit
out Of a civilian. The infantryman Is
all the better for good stature, from
five feet six inches well on toward six
feet four, and weight 1913 pounds to
ITO.
A mans force of bodily impact may
serve a good purpose In infantry. Eye
and nerve help in the shooting proc

should be as well set up as a pugirst,
as firm on his feet and powerful and
skillful with arms and hands. Good

How National
Advertising Cuts
Dealers Sales Cost
tcopyright-Mallory. Mitchell & Faust)

(copyright-Mallory, Mitchell & Faust)
National advertising helps the
dealer by increasing his volume Of
sales. 1t does this in three ways:
First, by EXTENDING THE
MARKET for the product.
Second, by CREATING NEW
USES for the product.
Third, by CREATING A MAR
KET for NEW products.
Another most important way in
which dealers benefit by handling
advertised products is the result,
not only of increased volume Of
sales, but of the willingness of the
consumer to ACCEPT readily the
goods when offered by the dealer.
This CONSUMER ACCEPT
ANCE created by manufacturer-ad-
yertising results in ECONOMY to
the dealer, economy of time and
hence of money.
Economy of time is secured be-
cause the name of the product has
been standardized in the users
mind. The customer will accept On
advertised brand at once and with
out question or argument. She
knows what it is. The salesman
does not need to take time to talk
it up-to SELL it. 1t has AL
READY BEEN SOLD through the
advertising. The dealer needs only
to offer it and the consumer AC-
CEPTS it. The transaction is COM
pleted in a minimum of time.
Contrast this with the sale of an
unadyertised brand.
The customer comes in and asks
for a specific brand of some product,
which she has seer advertised in the
magazines, in the local newspapers
and on bill boards. She wants this
Particular brand, for the adyertis-
ing has convinced her of its supe-
riority over other brands.
But suppose the dealer has not
recognized the value to himself of
handling advertised brands and can
not fill the order. He must either
lose this sale then or take time to
SELL her the unadvertised brand
which he happens to carry. He
must take time to convince her that
the brand he offers is Gust as good"
that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones
both buy it" and all the rest of the
salesman's story.
Even though he finally persuades
her to accept the unadvertised
brand he is the loser in not having
had what she wanted. For WhilGu
making tFl, ;ie could have nied
the orders Of other customers who
were waiting. This in addition to
the fact that he has sent away a
dissatisfied customer who will prob
ably go somewhere else next time
where she can get what she
WANTS.
Even if a customer has not indi-
Gated a definite preference for an
advertised brand she will often be
found to have a very clean cut idea
of what she does NOT want when
the dealer offers her an unknown
brand of questionable value.
SELLING unadvertised brands
requires more time, more clerks,
more expense, than FILLING OR
DERS for advertised brands which
are readily accepted when offered.
And dealers who do not value their
own time have learned to know
that they must value the amount
of time their customers will grant
them.
