ADVERTISED GOODS ARE
ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST
Selling Expense is Reduced and the
Consumer Ultimately Gets the
Saving
The wide-awake merchant who ad-

The wide-awake merchant who ad-
vertises is not only increasing his
own business but saving his custom
erS' money also, according to thOro-
going Investigations made by men
who spend vast sums in advertising.
In these days when so much atten-
ton is being given to economy, espe-
ciaIly attention should be given to
advertising and advertised goods.
Even in Germany, where certainly
every attention is being paid to econ
Omy, the newspapers of Berlin and
other cities are carrying as much ad-
vertising today as doing peace times
"a condition that would not be per
mitted if advertising were cOnsid-
cred as an unnecessary expense.
An enlightening discussion of the
saving effected by advertising is con-
tanned in the current Farm, Stock
and Home, from which we quote
I'm these days of high cost of liv-
ing it is quite natural to look for the
goat
In the last Congress when the
chronic attempt to increase news
paper postage rates was being made,
one senator gravely remarked that
advertising was tax on the consum-
er and the public at large would be
ahead if there was less of it done.
In other words advertising added to
the high cost of living. If it were
really an economic fact that advertise
ing added to the cost of advertised
articles, instead Of growing, the
practice would have gradually been
abandoned, for the nOn-advertisers
would have driven the advertiser to
the wall thru lower production and
selling costs. No one spends his
money year after year doing some
thing that does not add to his profits
or that causes him an actual loss.
We all know that the secret of low
cost is making the largest possible
production with a given overhead
expense, or in selling the largest pos
! sible amount Of goods under the
same conditions.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1917-07-06

If shoe store for instance sells
10000 pairs of shoes a year at an
annual expense of doing business of
$4,000, it is plain that it costs so
cents pair to sell the shoes.
Nov, if increasing the cost of do
ing business by spending $4,000 a
year in advertising and keeping the
same number of clerks busy all the
time the store sells 10000 pairs, the
selling cost per pair will be 35 cents
or a saving on selling cost of 80 per
cent.
THE Association of National Ad-
vertisers have been investigating
this question and as this Association
is made up of two hundred sixty of
the leading advertisers of the coun-
try it has it's data all in hand in the
records of its members. A few act
ual cases are given herewith of what
advertising has really done for the
consumers as reported by the associ-
alton.
THE makers of a famous photo
graphic camera, when they began
"N ~ TA0AAASo C"C1lLy -C4So11I yCdI0 dSO,
made one camera which took a 2 ~
inch picture and which sold at $25.
Today they make a far better camera
which sells for $40. Another, which
took 4X5 picture, sold for $50. To-
day they sell far better one for $40.
And so on thru the line
"A prominent hat manufacturer
has, by means Of advertising, reduced
his selling cost seven cents per hat.
Result--the buyer gets a hat of bet
ter quality at no increase in price !;
this despite increased cost of raw
material and workmanship
when the manufacturer of a
famous breakfast food speciality be-
gan advertising, his goods sold at IS
cents a package. Today the pack
age is fifty per cent larger and the
price has been reduced to 10 cents.
Again advertising did it, the same
causes producing the same results.
The producer Of another we'll
known food speciality is selling his
goods at Is per cent less to the
wholesale grocery trade than four
years ago.
Twenty years ago national ad-
vertised shaving stick was sold in a
cheap metal leatherette covered box

HINTS FOR BELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and
Quickly Made and They Are Al.
ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas
crochet hook and tnttlng shuttle. fnsll-
loning Christmas gifts for family and
friends. But, there always are some
belated gifts, that must be made dur
ing the last few days, for friends that
we would like 10 remember.
In such cases there Is nothing more
quickly or easily made than bugs and
aprons, and one never RAJ have too
many of either. Laundry bags, stock
Ing bags, darnlng bags, piece bags and
bngE for solled handkerchlefs can be
made of chlntz or c%retonne, and fancy
work bags, purse bags, and hnndker-
chief bags may be made Of silk and
ribbon. Several OF these bags can eas-
lily be made In an evening, and they
are always acceptable gifts.
And aprOns-nO woman ever had
too many aprons. A few yards Of glng-
ham, percale and butchers linen made
up into aprons, which would not re-
qulre more thnn a day to make a good
supply, would go a long ways il gifts
to busy house mothers. And caps, also.
At this time almost every woman
wears some sort OF cap when doing
her house work, and a neat, washable
cap makes an acceptable gift, and re-
qulres little skill In the making. And
so with these practical and quickly
made gifts one may be able TO catch az
with Christmas remembrances, even
though belated until the last few days
before Christmas.

Christmas holds u unique place MS

Christmas has yielded none of It's ORR

essentially n religious day. Its reality
voices a song of fraternity people
grow ut this season more generous,
more lndulgent, more human. II Is
evnngelistic for the destruction Of
malice and ill-wlll-dlffcrences be-
tween One and another are forgotten.
Year by year Christmas devltuli2es
seliishness, and consequently the day
Is n powerful factor for good. Great
characters step from the splritunllZed
atmosphere majestic deeds of charity
leave their blessing and example ev.
c%rywherc. Yuletlde Is not merely a
period Of gift bestownl or solely n time
Of tho~ughtfulness, Its Significance Is
more profound. Feeling Is immersed
In kindness. Conduct Is adapted to
what Is highest and best.
The first plain Christmas, Of which
that Of today Is II sublime issue, dlgnl-
fled sacrifice. The Good Book says
"And there were shepherds watching,
and keeping the night witches over
their flocks." A manifestation Of per.
sonul sacrifice. Those who would be
rich must give. The gift need not be
monetary. Giving is without llmltn.
iion-lf n singer, give 10 others n glad
song; II II millionaire In experience,
give freely of advice; II a table of
plenty, share the repnst with those
who are not only physically hungry,
but thirsty for sympathy; If invested
with genlallty, become n prince glver
Of laughter, of service, Of encourage
ment. BE constructive. Followers of
this doctrine draw from the season Il
