TITO the general rank and
file of citizenry, this
= matter of dehation and
liquidation, this recovery to-
ward normally, gets home at
one close contae5 point:-
A dollar is worth more.
Food and clothing are cost
ing less.
Here we have a singularly
satisfying proof of the econ
omy of advertising.
This was the situation =
The public, confronted by
high prices, curbed their
spending; bought goods only
under stress of imperative
need. Trade stagnated. Mer-
chants felt the burden of full
shelves. They needed actual
money. There was just one
way to get it-by selling their
merchandise.
It takes two to make a sale.
One Of them must be the
= buyer.
The merchants wanted buy
ers; lots of them.
They got them.
You know how they got them
They advertised for them.
They advertised their goods.
They advertised their prices.
The public bought. The
public is still buying. Because
the public has learned that
modern advertising is truthful
An enthusiastic salesman, un-
der the stimulus of rapid fire
conversation, may tint truth
with eulogy. But writing an
advertisement is a more delib-
crate process. 1t is natural for
a man to write more carefully
than he speaks. A signed
statement is more convincing
than a spoken word.
No man can advertise un-
truthfully and survive-and
every advertiser knows it.
The established probity Of
nerican advertising has
yer been more dramatically
[splayed than in this recon-
tructive campaign of the past
three months. Without it, the
readjustment of prices would
have been an uncertain labor
ious and haphazard process.
Advertising has provided the
huge volume of business
without which such price re-
ductions would have been
fatty improbable. 1t has pro-
duced the rapid turnover. The
rapid turnover is the only
thing that compensates for re-
duced profit margin.
A go profit on $1OO is only
So; but if it happens once
month it is as good as 249o
bnce a year. That is why pres
ent prices are possible. They
mean a drastic reduction of
profit on each single sale; but
advertising has increased the
rapid frequence of sales to a
point at which the merchant
gets reasonable return on his
investment, yet at prices so low
tha. the man in the street is at
last realizing that his dollar is
again approaching 100 cents in
value.
This should kill once and for
all the silly and obsolete argu-
ment that advertising is expen-
pensive and an extravaganza.
1t is neither. 1t is the most
.he. influence in modern
+ trade. 1t is good for those who
write and those who read ad-
vertisements. 1t is a strong,
stanch pillar of modern econ
omy.

sorghum syrup this year, according to

But it seems that nobody wants
the stuff and the farmers who have
it are preparing to keep it, at least
until the market. absorbs the surplus
crop and prices get back to something
like profitable basis. About the
best price offered for sorghum now
is 25 cents per gallon and there are
few dealers who want it even as a
