4 question that IS being asked by
many z small town merchant today
Is whether he should spend money for
space N his local paper 70 advertise
goods which are advertised nationally
by the manufacturers Very often he
handles line OF goods that l. ad-
vertiseG extensively IN the papers
and magazines that have large cir
culztion throughout the country, but
questions the good Of spending his
own money 10 bring these goods and
the fact that he handles them 70 the
attention TO his townspeople-
An answer TO this question Is found
N the experience OF 3 national adver-
tlser who spends many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars year IN nation
al advertising This company, how
ever, has constantly urged It's deal
ers to spend their own money for 10
cal advertising, and Il shows by fig
ures just what that local advertising
brings IN returns
At the end of the first year in
which II urged its dealers 70 advertise
locally, IN 81 per cent OF its branches,
the statesmen who made the highest
volume OF sales were those who had
the most dealers doing local adver-
Using OF 81 replies received by the
company. 81 dealers were doing local
advertising and their average sales
were S10,475. The other ten did not
advertise and their average sales
were $500 Those who advertised did
thirteen times as much business
The next year 304 answered the
cOmpanys query Thirty-six did not
advertise and did an average bust
E -
eight were advertising and their av-
erage sales were $500. Advertising
made sales thirty-foGr times as great.
As result of the compauy's active
work the percentage Of its dealers
who advertise locally have grown
from 81 TO 921z. The company gives
/ all the help II can 10 its dealers, fur
nishing cuts, advertising copy, ETC.
/ II desired, but pays no part of the &C.
tual cost for space
| II l. true that most people today
even IN the smallest communities
read the national magazines and pa
pers, and therefore see the advertise
ments which makers of goods sold ev.
/ erywhere use. To great extent
these advertisements are general ad-
vertisements rather than specific. OF.
/ ten they give no prices; IN fact, give
but brief description of the goods
/ perhaps not enough to make q sale
They are not intended TO do more
than create 2 interest and send Gus
/ toners to the dealers who hands
the goods.
Now, unless the local dealer adver
| tises IN his local paper that he han
dies such goods, how Is the prospec
tive customer going TO know wher,
20 go when he has an idea of looking
at an article ne has seen attractvel,
displayed IN a magazine advertise
ment?
