DEMOCRACY FOR WHICH AD.
HERENTs WILL NOT DIE CAN.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.--No man could
deny the urgent need of raising more
men, Lloyd George said in addressing
labor delegates today mo democracy
ever long survived the failure of its
adherts to die for it, he declared.
He and President Wilson, without
previous consultation, had outlined
war aims substantially the same.
He said there had been but one
answer from Germany to the de.
mands of complete restoration of
Belgium, and that came from Won
Tirpitzs soul-'never!'
He said Our channel ports are
not far from the fighting line. Tn.
less we are prepared to stand up
to the people who are dominating
Germany, British and French dem.
ocracy of Europe will be at the
mercy OF the most cruel military

BIG ADVERTISERS

The iavorite plant OF the business
man who has fallen asleep by the
waysde is that advertising is huge
economic waste that millions of dol,
lars are spent and wasted, in arti-
fetal attempts to stimulate selling,
to the ultimate injury OF both buy
er and seller At first glance this argu-
ment may appear logical, But us not
based on the facts
The. average man hears about the
millions and millions spent for adj
ycrtsng and he finally gets the notion
that somehow or other the buyer has
got to pay for H.
Millions spent for advertising sound,
big, but hundreds OF millions worth OF
goods sold by advertising makes the
actual amount spent Tor advertising
look small
Let us see how much the big advcr-
lscrs spend
The advertising OF one ol the lead
ing paint manufacturers OF the coun-
try averages 3 l-3 per cent Of their
total sales, In other words, for every
dollars worth Of paint they sell they
spend 3 l-3 cents in advertising This
is about equivalent to the price of a
postage stamp and a sheet OF note
paper for every dollars worth Of goods
sold Another big paint and varnish
manufacturer spends 3 - to ! ~ per
cent
Next take clothing. OF one Of the
biggest clothing manufacturers in the
country, one spends l-2 per cent;
the other , per cent I'm equally
prominent shoe manufacturer spends
! - per cent,
But shoes and clothing are neccS-
sitics,' some say "How about the
luXurcs;
All right Take one Of the most
popular luNuricS in the world
candy, One Of the hest known candy
makers in the country and one OF the
biggest advertisers spends . per cent.
Then take the big automobile and
tire manufacturers with their full page
and double page spreads. surely now
the percentage figures will begin to
jump. Win they;
You will be surprised at the figures
for two of the most famous automobile
builders in the country One IS : per
cent; the other 3 per cent. Also two
of the leading tire manufacturers,
one spends per cent; the other : per
cent. And all four rank among the
biggest advertisers in the country,
These figures are authentic, and
when YOU consider the enormous vol
ume of the automobile and tire bust
ness YOU will see that the small per
centages are ample to provide Tor the
wonderful publicity
And then we come to the big de-
partment stores where at one time
or another every buyer buys, They
fairly eat up the newspapers with
their big spreads But If you expect
to find big percentage figures here
again you will be agrccably disappoint-
ed. The average department stores
does not cost more than )
per cent of its total business.
The fact is that the great majority
of all natioually-advcrtScd articles
articles which are iamlarly known III
every home in the country, which
are famous for their quality as well as
their immense distribution, belong IN
the per cent or under class,
Because advertising is the most ei-
hcicnt method of marketing ever de
veloped by business enterprise, its ei-
feet 81 to decrease and not increase the
sum total of selling cost. This is a sim
pie fact about advertising that every
buver of advertised goods ought to

1t was reported at Ripton's town
