ADVERTISING REDUCES COST OF
DISTRIBUTION

That advertising reduces the cost
of distribution of merchandise was
the recent assertion of a special repre-
sentative of Armour & Co. in an ad-
dress before a large gathering of mer-
chants and manufacturers a few days
ago. In explaining his statements the
representative said:
zone manufacturing firm told me
that advertising had reduced the cost
of selling the product so per cent.
The profit of the retail grocer should
be estimated on sales and not on cost.
The cost of selling is the largest sin
gle item of expense. Advertising done
by the manufacturer tends to stand
ardize the product advertised. In the
case of an advertised standard food
product it is composed of material Of
uniform quality, it has a trademark
and is recognized. The recognition
of the product comes largely through
advertising. Standardizing is more
rapid through the latter than through
usage.
The first advantage in sellins
standard foods is that less money is
invested in stock because fewer
brands are carried by the dealer. The
grocer usually carries four or five
times more brands than is needed,
tying up capital without return. II
has been necessary, especially during
the past year and a half, to operate
on small capital. Re placing stock
required used up profits as well as
the cost of the original stock. The
dealers profits were absorbed in the
higher prices of the goods.
zone cannot fix the responsibility
for defect in nonstandardiZed pro
ducts unless he places it on the deal
er. In the case of standard food pro.
ducts the buyer puts the blame di
rectly on the manufacturer who's
name and trademark is there.
The manufacturer of ADVERTISED
goods helps the dealer sell and fur
nishes selling helps after the mer-
chandiSe is bought. The interests Of
the manufacturer and the merchant
are identical. Less time is required
to sell standard foods. The uniform
quantity brings repeat sales, while
advertising brings the first and help
to make others, which is not the case
with nonstandard goods, for who's
uniformity of quality there is no "a.
surance."
Il was somewhat impressed with
the suggestions made by the speak.
er." said me of u merchants who
had heard the address. Through q
courtesy | happened to be present az
the meeting. and it seemed to me that
the statements might be Of interes.

promoters of the Pan Motor Co, a
Delaware corporation, with a plant at
st. Cloud, MINI. 1t is charged that
so, 900 persons were victimized by buy
ing stock in the concern. There was
a time when quite a number of par
ties around Brookings were talking
with enthusiasm about this new con-
Germ and there was one or two stock
statesmen around looking for buyers.
Just how many or who were the un-
fortunate ones ii would be impossible
to tell. But there must have been
some, for Brookings always furnishes

are being offered on the market.

tion doing business in the state
of South Dakota, which is one
of the political divisions of the
United States of America. The
official language of the United
States is English.
It is the wish Of the manage
ment of the company that each
and every one of it's employees
speak and write the English
language as this language will be
used in all transactions with it's
employees.
All orders, safety bulletins
and other notices will be written
Tor printed in English only. 1t
will be for your interest ard
protection to learn English as
quickly and thoroughly as pos
sible- Have your family also
learn to speak English SO that
you can talk in this language at
home.
The company intends to dis

The public schools of Lead
maintain classes where you and
your families may receive free
instructions in the English lam
guage and you are urged to take
advantage of this instruction.
Your advancement in the SER
vice of the company depends
largely upon your ability to
speak, read and write the Ian

You are also urged to declare
your intention Of becoming q
citizen Of this country as soon
as possible and complete your

PEACE TREATY KILLED

The senate last week voted
down the peace treaty, which
contained the league Of nations
covenant. This action was pre-
|ceded by the defeat Of the Lodge
reservations. The administra-
|tion stated openly that if the
Lodge reservations were accept
ed by the senate, the president
would veto it.
As a matter Of fact the league
was doomed to defeat. It's pro-
ponents would accept no change
from the way it came from the
presidents hands, and the oppon-
ents held that it constituted the
destruction Of American inde-
pendence, unless il was changed.
Article ten was particularly OBJ
noxious.
It is said that the president
will send it back to the senate
when that body conyenes Decem-
ber 1st, with q plea for its pas
sage. 1t is q foregone conclusion
though, that the administration
will have to accept some reserva-
tions before the senate win pass
lit.

GOVERNOR ASKS US
TO GIVE THANKS

No state in the union for it's
size has more to be grateful for
than South Dakota and each
passing year is increasing the
blessings that come to it's resi-
dents. With this spirit Cover
nor NOrbeck has issued his an
nual Thanks giving day procla-
nation which is as follows:
A Proclamation
Executive Chambers, Pierre.

Following the order of the
president and in conformity to a
long established precedent, L,
Peter Norheck, governor, do
hereby lS1Aaim Thursday, No
vember 27, 1919, as Thanks
giving Day, for and throughout
South Dakota, and | call upon
the people of the state to on
that day suspend their daily
business, and in the home circle
and in places set apart for pub
lie worship meet and give thanks
for manifold blessings received
As a nation we have been richly
compensated for our tremend-
GUS sacrifices-the peace of vic
tory is ours, and now after the
many months of world disrup-
ton and chaos we can dedicate
ourselves to the Herculean task
and indeed it is a sacred
mission of reconstruction.
Every menace to our own nation
al stability must be minimized,
love of country and loyalty to
it's institutions must be taught
and demonstrated everywhere,
faith and courage must be ex-
ercised, that finally equal free
dom and opportunity shall be
made possible for all. When
these are accomplished then and
not till then have we attained
that consummate civilization
which will command the respect
and admiration of the world for
all time toscome.
And let us be thankful for
the harvests which have been
ours, for all material benefits,
for prosperity and contentment,
for Gods loving kindness and
tender mercy, and for Ameri-
can fellowship and brotherhood.
In testimony whereof, / have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed to be affixed the great seal of
the state Of South Dakota at

RICH FOLEY'S DEATH

We mentioned last week the
departure Of Patrick and Mala-
chi Foley and their sister, Mrs.
Chas. Price for Rapid City, to
attend the funeral of their bro
ther, Richard. From the Rapid
City Journal, in the following
article, we find what is known of
the circumstances surrounding
his death: James Foley return
ed yesterday (Monday, Nov. 17)
morning from Hot Springs,
where he was called by the death
of his brother, Richard Foley,
Sunday morning. He brought
the body Of his brother with him
and it is now at the undertaking
rooms of Henry Behrns, Incd.
The death of Mr.. Foley is sur
rounded with mystery as he
came to his death from q gun
shot wound inflicted by himself
|either accidentally or intention
ally, or by parties unknown. Mr..
Foley went to Hot Springs Sat-
urday evening to visit his wife,
who was with her relatives
there. He met his death at four
4. m, and it is said There were
mo other persons present except
his wife and her mother.
A coroner's inquest was held
before James Foley arrived, the
verdict being, as near as the re-
porter learned, that he met his
death by his own hand either ac-
cidentally or otherwise, his own
| firearm being the weapon. Two
shots were fired, one taking ef-
feet, but the whereabouts Of the
other bullet is unknown. The
shooting occurred just outside
the door Of the home Of his
|wife's parents.
