SYNOPSIS

Just previous to the outbreak of the Eu-
topean wal lane Gerson, buyer for a New
York house, meets a Captain Woodhouse
on a train for Paris. He tells her he is en-
route for Egypt.
Louisa, a spy, meets Billy Capper, an
other spy, in Berlin. She promises him a
Job and a number with the Wilhelm
strasse. Then Woodhouse meets Louisa
and is observed by some American tour
lists, Henry Sherman and family.
Woodhouse (the name Is assumed) is In
q plot with Louisa to impersonate an Eng
iish officer of that name, who is to be
transferred from Wady Halfa to take
charge Of the signal lower at Gibraltar.
Woodhouse. by agreement, purloins Cap
per's Wilhelmstrasse number.
Woodhouse proceeds to Alexandria and
in Ramleh seeks DR.. Koch, a German spy.
He shows him the number Capper ap-
pears and makes trouble.
Woodhouse allays Koch's suspicious.
Capper s~ecretes himself in a neighboring
garden and spies on DR.. Koch.
Capper sees the real Woodhouse borne
out unconscious from DR.. Koch's house
n follows the pseudo Woodhouse to Gil
braltar. The latter stops overnight with
Joseph Almer, proprietor Of the Hotel
Splendide, and a German SPY. Louisa is
at Gibraltar In disguise.
Henry Sherman and family are stopping
at the Splendid. Suddenly Jane Gerson
appears, having with difficulty left Paris.

promise it was that she would not be-

"You-don't think this is a shade too

She clutched her kimono about her and
whisked out of the room.
General Crandall, just rid Of the
dubious pleasure of Billy Cappers
company, was pacing the floor of the
library office thoughtfully. He looked
up with a smile at his wife's entrance.
"Helen, want you to do something
for me-" he said.

The Advertised Trade
Mark Enables You to
Obtain a Standard
Article at a Fair
Price
(copyright-Mallory, Mitchell & Faust

(Copyright-NIallory Mitchell & Faust
Both of these results are desira-
ble-a STANDARD ARTICLE and
a FAIR PRICE. Either one is to
be desired by the consumer. But
when both go hand in hand they
form the ideal combination.
These results are brought about
by advertising the product and then
identifying it by means Of a trade
mark or brand name.
When a product becomes known
to the consuming public through ad-
vertising, it tends to become
STANDARDIZED. Being produc-
ed on a large scale, it naturally fol-
lows that there comes to be a uni
formity of quality of the different
units. Each unit is exactly the same
as every other unit bearing that la
bel.
People come to know just what
this product is. 1t stands for some
thing definite. 1t represents a def
mite value characteristic of this par
ticular product. 1t becomes stand
ardized.
In addition to this, the very fact
that it does become standardized
and known makes possible a greater
market for it. This greater market
makes possible the economies of
large scale production. That is, a
manufacturer who produces 10000
900 units of a product can produce
each unit more cheaply than the
manufacturer who produces but TO-
900 units, through having more i'm
proved machinery, being able to car
ny the specialization Of labor TO a
greater degree, having less waste,
and having more units of production
to bear the expense Of general man
agement and overhead.
The result Of this large scale pro-
duction is a lower price to the con-
sumner per unit.

~1ENERAL CRANDALL sat at
his desk and tried to bring him
self down to the routine cry
- ing from accumulated papers
there. But the canker Billy Capper
had implanted in his mind would not
give him peace. General Crandalls
tremendous responsibility would not
permit him to ignore Capper's warning,
coming even from so low a source.
Yet the man found himself cropping
blindly in the dark before the dilemma
presented; he had no foot rule of pre-
cept or experience to guide him.
His fruitless searching for a prop in
emergency was broken by the appear
ance of Jane Gerson in the door open
ing from Lady Crandalrs rooms to the
right of the library. The girl was
dressed for the out of doors; In her
arms was a fragrant bunch of blood
red roses, spraying out from the top
of a bronze bowl. The girl hesitated
and drew back In confusion at seeing
the room occupied; she seemed eager
to escape undetected. But General
Crandall smilingly checked her fight.
I'll thought you would be out"
Jane stammered, ''and"-
Sand the posies'- the general inter
rupted.
"Were for you to enjoy when you
should come back" She smiled easily
into the mans eyes. They'll look so
much prettier here than in my room"
every good of you, I'm sure" Cen
eral Crandall stepped up to the rich
cluster of buds and shifted critically.
Without looking at the girl he contin-
ued: at appears to me as though you
had already made a conquest on the
Rock. One doesn't pick these from
the cliffs, you know"
81 should hardly call it a conquest"
Jane answered, with a sprightly toss
of her head.
"But a young man sent you these
flowers. Come-confessI" The gener-
ais tone was bantering, but his eyes
did not leave the piquant face under
the chic summer straw hat that shad-
ed 1t.
Surely. One of your own men

National Advertising
of Branded Prod
ucts to Help
Dealers
Ccopyright-Mallory. Mitchell & FAUST

Ccopyright-Mallory Mitchell & FAUST
Dealers are coming, more and
more, to appreciate the value to
themselves of advertising done by
manufacturers of branded products.
In fact, the most foresighted of
them are virtually concentrating
their sales on advertised products.
They recognize the manufacture
ers' advertising is being used to edu-
cate their own customers.
Manufacturers advertising is a
real help to the dealer. 1t stimu-
lates trade by maintaining a
healthy demand for the'goods with
out the necessity of price cutting,
a pernicious practice common in un-
advertised lines to keep sales up.
The dealer has much to gain by
Notwithstanding. In fact,
he may consider himself a PART
NER in the advertising.
This partnership is worth much
to the dealer who is shrewd enough
to see this relationship and utilize it
by keeping the advertised goods on
display and otherwise backing the
advertising.
Manufacturers realize that they
cannot FORCE DISTRIBUTION
to the consumer against dealers
will. They need the hearty coop
Grafton of dealers in getting prod
ucts into the hands of the consumer,
for the normal way from factory to
consumer is through dealers.
The retail store may be regarded
as the vital point in the channel
through which trade passes from
factory to consumer. All trade
which passes through the channel
must pass through this particular
part of the channel. No more trade
can pass through the channel as a
whole than can pass through its mar
rowest point.
Any action of the manufacturer
injurious to the dealer would tend
to narrow the channel at this point
and hence to restrict the volume of
flow from the factory. Conversely,
any move which is beneficial to the
dealer tends to broaden the channel
at this point-tends to lessen the
resistance here SO that a greater vol
ume of trade may flow from the fac
tory.
Manufacturers realize these facts
Hence the whole purpose of manl-
acturer-advertising il to lessen reo
sistance TO the flow Of tradG-t6
broaden the channel at all points
to help dealers!
Advertising benefits the manufac-
turer by benefting the dealer at the
same time, and ONLY by benefting
the dealer.
Just HOW national advertising
benefits the dealer will be discussed
in a series of succeeding articles.
