ADVERTISING MAKES FOR LOW
ER PRICES

Among the many forces tending
10 raise the cost of living, 1t is en-
couraging to find one other whose
tendency is in the opposite direction.
Advertising is the friend OF the
consumer, 1t tends to lower prices.
It does this In two ways. By lead
ing to greater volume of sales. II
makes possible the economies OF
large scale production. resulting In
N lower cost OF production per unit,
The second way is by reducing the
cost OF distribution. A large ele-
ment in the total cost OF most pro-
ducts in the cost of getting them
from the factory out into the hands
of the final consumer.
Just what items the cost of distri-
button include depends upon the
method of distribution; but in gem
eral most products pass through the
hands of The jobber and then thro-
ugh the retailer to the consumer.
This path from the manufactures to
the consumer might be called the
channel OF distribution.
The effect OF advertising Is to
lessen the resistance TO the flow OF
the product through this channel
That is, the advertising enables both
the jobber and the retailer to sell
the goods more easily and quickly
and in larger quantities, and tC
turn their stocks oftener-resultlng
an lower costs of selling.
This all works to the best interests
of the consumer lower retail
price.
