IS
NOT A WASTE
Figures Show Low Percen-
tage of Cost Compared
With Receipts.

The favorite plant OF the business
man who has fallen asleep by the way
side is that advertising is a huge
economic waste; that millions of dol.
lars are spent and wasted, in artificial
attempts to stimulate selling, to the
ultimate injury of both buyer and sell
ler.s At first glance, and to the man
who has not really studied the sub
ject, this argument may appear logi-
cal. The only trouble with the logic
Is that it does not square with the
facts. Most people know more things
that are are not so about this subject
than any other under the sun.
"Let us see how much the big ad-
vertisers spend" says Alan G. Kelley,
President Of the Association Of Ma.
tional Advertisers, in discussing this
matter. 1.-THE average man hears talk
every day about the millions and mil.
lions spent for advertising and he fin
ally gets the notion that somehow or
other the buyer has got to pay for it.
II wonder If Mr.. Average Man ever
stops to realize that those millions
spent in advertising sell hundreds of
millions worth of goods-goods that
could never be sold so cheaply in any
other way. And 1t Is this immense
saving in selling cost that helps to
make lower-priced goods.
Millions spent for advertising
sounds big, but hundreds of millions
worth of goods sold by advertising
makes the actual amount spent for
advertising look small
what is the exact ratio Of adver'
Using to sales anyhow? This is
something that every buyer would
like to know?
Tam glad to be able to tell the
public the Association of National Ad'
vertisers has collected some valuable
facts and figures on this subject. Lis
ten to a few Of them,
THE advertising OF one OF the lead
ing paint manufacturers of the coun'
try averages 1.S per cent of their
total sales. In other words, for every
dollars's worth of paint they sell, they
spend 8 1,3 cents in advertising, This
Is about equivalent to the price of a
postage stamp and a cents worth of
papsr for every dollars worth Of goods
sold, Another big paint and varntsh

manufacturer spends from 8 1-2 to 4
1-2 per cent.
Next take clothing. We have OBJ
tanned figures concerning two Of the
biggest clothing manufacturers in the
country. One sphnds / 10 per cent;
the other 2 per cent. An equally
prominent shoe manufacturer spends
10 per cent.
But shoes and clothing are neces
stiles, you may say. How about the
luxuries
"All right! Take one Of the most
popular luxuries in the world-candy
One of the best known candy makers
in the country and one Of the biggest
advertisers, spends 5 per cent.
Then take the big automobile and
and tire manufacturers with their full
page and double page spreads. Surely
now the percentage figures will begin
to jump. Will they?
"You will be surprised when l give
you the figures for two Of the most
famous automobile builders in the
country. One is 2 per cent; the other
is 3 per cent. Also two Of the lead
ing tire manufacturers; one spends 2
per cent; the other 2 per cent. And
all four rank among the biggest adj
vertisers In the country.
These figures are authentic, and
when you consider the enormous vol
ume of the automobile and tire bus
mess you will see that the small per
centages are ample to provide for the
wonderful publicity.
"And then we come to the big de-
partment stores-where at one time
or another every buyer buys. You
can see them fairly eating up the
newspapers with their big spreads.
But If you expect to find big percent,
age figures here, again you will be
agreeably disappointed. The figures
possessed by the Association OF Ma
tional Advertisers show that the aver
age department stores advertising
does not cost more than 8 per cent of
its total business.
1.-THE fact is that the great major
ity Of all nationally-advertised arti'
cles-artiCes which are Familiarity
known in every home in the country,
which are famous for their quality as
we'll az their immense distribution, be-
long III the per cent or under class.
"And let this final point be remem'
bored. Even If this advertising rep
resented a direct advance on what the
buyer would otherwise have to pay
this would MAKE little difference in
the price Of the goods. But 1t does
not. And why not?
because advertising is the most eff
flcient method Of marketing ever de-
veloped by business enterprlse-there'
fore its effect is to decrease and not
to increase the sum total Of selling
cost. This is simple fact about adj
vertising that every buyer Of adVer'
tised goods ought to know"

beets or carrots. By planting these
crops the home gardener should pro-
duce food products which may be
stored for winter use.
There Is still time for any Of these
crops to mature. They should, how.
ever, be planted promptly.
At this season many gardeners are
inclined to allow the weeds to get a
start in the garden. The crops need
an abundance of moisture and the
weeds should not be allowed to rob
them. Where it is possible to practice
irrigation either by running water in
trenches, with a hose, or by a sprink-
Ter system, the crops may be carried
through drought without loss. The
water should be applied in the evening
so that It will soak In before the sun
rises. Cultivation should follow the
watering In about "a hours so that the
soil will not bake.
II is an excellent plan to water egg.

are made for the crops which may yet

Beans-Plant in rows 2h feet apart
for either horse or hand cultivation,
and 8 to 4 inches apart in the rows.
