ADVERTISING THE GREATEST
FORM OF SALESMANSHIP

One big fact that ought to be rec
ognized by buyers of goods is that
advertising in the weekly paper Is
the cheapest form of craftsmanship.
In selling their products, farmers
should advertise thousand per cent
more than they do. and in buying
anything they should always give
the preference to advertised brands.
Take your own case Suppose you
have fine registered Jersey heifers,
or fifty bushels of Abruzzi seed, or
forty tons of clover hay that you
wish to sell locally Your local pa
per probably goes to two thousand
homes For cent or two a word
you can proclaim to all these homes
what you have to offer. Is there
any other method-letters, posters,
agents. personal calls, etc, that could
possibly be tenth as cheap as
advertising in your local paper?
These facts, we repeat should also
be borne in mind when the farmer
comes to buy anything. Sometimes
uDprogressive houses try to deceive
consumers by saying, I'VE can sell
cheaper than the other fellow be
cause we spend nothing for adver-
Using" The truth is, as we have
pointed out, that advertising is the
cheapest form Of salesmanship, and
the rule is that the more literally
firm advertises the more value it
gives you for dollar. If firm does
not advertise it is probably depend
ing wholly loh expensive drummer
service or letter. service to get bust
ness-twice as expensive method
as if it doubled the efficiency of its
drummers or letters through adver-
Using.
Moreover, if a firm does not adj
vertise, it is not getting as much
business as it should. This likely
means that it costs more to turn out
each unit of product in its small
output than would be the cost with
large advertising stimulated output
Advertising builds business, big
business, and the result is that sell
ing costs are lower with liberal adj
veItisiDg than with non advertisers

Editor of The North American:
May voice my emphatic ap-
prevail of youl editorial entitled "A
Futive experiment." In this, as in
other editorials of the past, you have
served our cause with skill and wis
dom, and | know that my Royal
Master will admire and ~Eeward the
part you have played in weakening
the morale of the American people
and in shaking their faith in that
stubborn prif, Wilson. Your per-
secution of the weak Philadelphia
Tageblatt, which was no longer able
to give US substantial aid, was a
clever covert act, as it gave the inn
preston that you were staunchly
American, and thus increased your
power for effective. propaganda in
our behalf. Furthermore, if you do
overstep the limit occasionally, the
gullible public will lay it to your in
tense hatred for the unspeakable
Wilson and your desire to see the
mighty Teddy enthroned in the
White House in 1920.
Revertingt to your editorial: 1t sure
did amuse me to note the figures
you produced to prove that the Gar
field order for fuelless days did not
save enough coal to overbalance the
loss in wages suffered by the op
pressed workers of America. You
are firing straight. The worker is
