THE EFFICIENCY OF ADVERTISING

THE EFFICIENCY OF ADVERTISING
1t is sometimes said that advertising
is an expense that adds to the cost Of
selling goods. Therefore. some people
argue. in paying for an advertised art
icle, you have to pay more because Of
the advertising expense.
| This Is false economics. The gov
ernment department OF labor. which
has argued extensive advertising cam
paigns to put business on its fe, t.
would never have advocated such an
expense IL their experts had believed
that advertising increases distribution
lIcosts.
1t would be as sensible to argue
that when a merchant expands his
business and has to hire more clerks
to handle 1t. he has to sell for higher
|price to pay for his additional expense.
On the contrary. II the business is
well handled the greater volume Of
trade reduces tho overhead charge and
1.-THE sales expense charge that has to
lbo made against every rrttcf1 sold.

to advertising.
