Women, what have you been doing

campaigns for reform, reform mayors
and other people, and when the re-
form group get together and decide
what they want to do they always say
that the women are too feeble to vote
for the reform mayor but they are
not too feeble to do the work which
is assigned TO them, which is to go
from house to house and do the cam
vassing and raise the funds. That is
all they SAX us to do.

ADVERTISING REDUCES COST

There are economists of standing
who say that advertising is the
cause for the increased cost of goods
This is not true.
Advertising actually reduces the
cost of goods.
10 dispense with advertising in or
der to reduce the cost Of goods would
be like going back to the floor and
fail in thrashing and in order to re-
duce the cost of grain.
Advertising is the time and effort
saving device in the sale of goods the
same as power and machinery in the
production of goods.
All goods, including new and I'M
known goods, would sell themselves
II given time enough-one satisfied
customer might tell another.
But time is an important factor in
the cost of goods, carrying charges
in the way of interest and rent, from
the time Of production to final sale
The speed with which goods are
sold determines their price and in
another large way than reducing the
carrying charges.
The faster sock Of goods is sold
the smaller, the lower the margin
OF profit the manufacturer or mer-
chant is compelled to charge the GUS
toner.
The profit from doing business is
not in the large profit on each sale.
tut rather the number Of profits from
many sales.
Many small profits from each sale
make one large profit.
This principle is technically known
as turnover and is the number of
times merchant sells his complete
STOCK IN year-turns the stock into
money.
Say for instance, candy store
makes 4 per cent gross profit only on
dollar Of sales.
But say it turns" sells the stock
completely once a week, So times a
year. is not this merchant making
% times 4 per cent, equalling 2OS per
cent to cover his expenses and profit.
1t seems paradoxical that GUS
toner should pay one-half cent profit
on ten cents worth of candy to en-
able the merchant to- make 20S per
cent but it will be understood In
considering the fact that the invest.
ment is in one weeks supply only.
Both the manufacturer and mer-
chant use advertising to speed the
sale of goods-increasc the turn
over"
II they are able to sell at less In
dividual profit they are thus able to
reduce the price-increase the mar
ket by making the goods within the
price range of more persons.
Advertising is the speed lever, the
high gear of sales.
1t is not only an educational fac
tor to more and better goods, but a
lower price to the consumer by en-
abling the producer and merchant to
live and prosper at lower margin
of individual profit. Tampa Tribune.

But the joy of being able to purchase an ample

be one Of its contributing causes. 1t is ex-
planned by the packers that the drop is due
to lack OF employment Of thousands of peo-
pie who have lost their wartime positions,
with the accompanying fat envelopes. To
these high prices and high wages would be
preferable to low prices and no money to
BUY. This. however. may be taken with
grain OF salt, as it probably is not the real
cause, which is found in the fact that the
packers had stocked up in expectation OF
several years Of war, with large part of
Europe TO feed in addition to this country.

themselves overstocked, and are compelled to
throw their stocks on the market, thus break
