Overhead and Selling you can ar

have you left when they are added
to the cost apd deducted from sell

When you have gotten thus far
and are trying to determine how
much for advertising. it is good
point to call in expert testimony.
In this way, Inquire what percen-
tage other successful propositions
similar to yours are In the habit
OF investing for advertising.
1t is always an, excellent idea to

business and his, you can make

Tho advertising appropriation
should be based on the amount Of

When will an advertiser come

work tho budget system in other
departments of the business. but for
ing differently and handle 1t IN
loose hit-and-misS fashion.
When you determine how much
the successful firms In your line in
vest for advertising, find how they
spend It,. Learn what forms OF ad-
of tho appropriation is spent in
each.
Such Information can he gotten.
If you do not know how, those who
make a business OF advertising can
tell You how. This Information Will
have listed the amounts to invest
in tho several practical and prof.
table channels. you can see what Is
left for such items as ''misccllanc-
GUS prosrams,"' special editions"
that will make application for a
slice of the appropriation. Perhaps
the fact that there is nothing left
for such items will give you tho
moral courage and the. necessary
sive solicitor.
II yours is a business of depart
ments. each department should have
It's part of the appropriation based
on net sales. and the appropriation
for each department should be used
for advertising that departments
goods.
The principle here IS tho Same as
that which. causes the mai1-order
house to make all departments of
Its business. In fact, every page
and every item in its cataloE stand
up is kept on sales and tho cost of
tho space which an item takes in
tho catalog is figured against net
sales of that item. The question Of
whether an article is selling IN sat
isfactory volume determines wheth-
er it is entitled to hold its place in
the catalog or mako way for bet
ter seller.
In other words. every department
OF the business and every item in
every department must make its
own showing. To this end tho de-
partments should have their own
advertising appropriations to spend
In their own interests.
interests.
1t is good idea 70 lay the ap-
preparation out over yearly period
and divide 1t by months, figuring
when trade should be at it's height.
The advertising department can
have n record book, with the figures
set down month by month. This
overspending.
Using program In some such way
as indicated above Is taking a very
long step toward making its adyer-
Using pay.
Advertising does pay when 1t Is
rightly done: And there is no mys-
terry or magic about doing 1t right
Business houses should not allow
advertising to be put up to them as
form or magic. something in
which they themselves can have no
voice. but must leave entirely to the
magician" Business is not done
that way in any other department
The advertising man should have
reasonable degree of freedom in
writing your advertising. but your
advertising campaign should have
the same degree of Intelligent SUI
pervision as the other departments
O! the business.
Perhaps the best way TO lay a
foundation FOR supervision is In the
budget and chart ideas outlined
above. in which a definite amount is
set aside and certain results In
sales required to come from the ex-
pcnditure.

How Large Should the Adj
vertising Appropriation Be?

Large enough to sell the merchan-
disc a. fair profit. And how
large may that be? II you mean
how much must you spend in dol
lars and cents to put 1t over, you
should not expect a definite answer
until you have definitely answered
a number Of questions about the
business.
There are big department. stores
that spend as little as per cent on
their net, and there arc individual
special articles that REQUIRE an In
yestment OF 20 per cent Of net sales
In advertising TO put them over.
Why the difference, and how can
the % per cent article live under
such an advertising expenditure?
The department store, with its
per cent advertising investment, has
great many ways of attracting
trade outside OF straight advertis-
Ing.
1t has location for one thing. 1t
has such n variety OF attractive de-
partments that a number of visitors
are constantly interested in calling
first for ono thing and then for an
other. 1t has a restaurant often
times, or a soda fountain or booth
These are trade magnets. 1t has so
many different departments that
there are always plenty OF interest
ing items in each to advertise, and
it is only necessary to interest the
customer In one single item to get
her to call. Finally the department

ual sales is small largely because
