 Man Who Doesn't Advertise

|, materially decreases his sales cost and he is able to create a demand in advance of his salesmen's calls, and his salesmen consequently meet with less sales resistance are able to make more calls per day, and sell in larger quantities because of the demand all ready created.
 The cost of advertising is a very small percentage of the selling price of a commodity. This percentage is so small that it is many times made up by lower production and lower sales cost
 It may be argued that money ex- pended for advertising must be paid for by someone. We have shown that it is not paid for by the producer, for by advertising he has lowered other costs. It is not paid for by the con- sumer, for advertising has enabled ths manufacturer to sell to the consumer at lower price, The man who really pays for advertising is the advertiser $ competitor who does not advertise, be- cause the advertiser So cuts into the ron- advertisers market and restricts the non advertisers consumer demand, that the mon advertisers production and sales costs are usually high, in comparison with the production and sales costs of the advertising manu- facturer.
