ADVERTISING LOWERS COSTS

st. I.ouis.--Lewellyn +. Pratt, New
York, chairman Of the program COM
mittee Of the Associated Advertising
Clubs convention In St. Louis, June 3
to Z, announces that some of the big.
gest mel in the country will take part
in the convention In the discussion
OF the central thought: advertising
lowers cost of distribution"
The convention program will be
built along lines that will refute the
idea that advertising adds to selling
costs. On the other hand, there will
be scores of examples to show that
advertising really cheapens the price
of a product.
There are still some people," said
MIR. Pratt, who believe tina, advertis.
ing adds to the cost Of things, but
everyone acquainted with the facts
knows this is not true. We know that
advertising pays for itself and more
by saving other expenses which would
be greater II advertising were not
used. At the st. Louis convention we
Will have facts and figures from some
OF the biggest firms in the country 10

Fear Of War Prohibition Causes Ac.
ton BY Leaders-Wouid Save
Grain for Food.

Washington. n. C.--The voluntary
restriction Of liquor manufacture
during the war was proposed before
the senate agriculture committee by
a committee Of distiilers represent
ing the largest liquor interests in the
country.
Aroused by fear of legislation that
would bring about war prohibition
the distillers presented a plan to cut
down demands for grain 1900 900
bushels per year.
The present output of distillers and
brewers in the country requires ap.
proximately 800, 600, 900 bushels of
grain annually.
Under the plan submitted. a fed
eral tax would be imposed upon the
materials used in the mar ufactue of
liquor. Such q tax, they told the
committee, would have a tendency
to lower production and force out OF
bond the reserve liquors.
An expert who accompanied tho
committee said that this plan would
ave at least 10000 900 bushels Of
| grain a year. The distillers' commit.
tee pointed out that to shut off pro-
| duction altogether of alcohol would be
impossible, that enormous quantities
| Of alcohol are used in the manufac-
ture OF munitions Of war and that at
least 5000, 900 gallons Of alcohol are
NECESSARY annually for medical and
like purposes: that thousands Of per,
SOM would be thrown out CT work.
and great h~ardships would result II
immediate and severe restrictions
were placed upon the manufacture Of
alcohol.
