When you go into a store and
see merchandise with which you
have become familiar through
advertising, make up your mind
that you are in the right kind
of a store.
There are many such stores.
You will find that they are al
ways well-managed and pros
perous-there is ainvariably an
air about them that invites your
patronage. If you have other
wants than advertised merchan-
disc, it is more than likely that
you will be inclined to have
them filled before you leave
that you will not question the
integrity of whatever else you
buy.
And though you may not realize
it, there is a very excellent rea-
son for such an attitude of mind
on your part.
Advertising, as you know, ELE-
YATES THE QUALITY AND
LOWERS THE PRICE OF
GOODS.
Here is the process:
When a manufacturer gives pub
licity to q worthy product. he
creates a demand for 1t. That de-
mand makes possible volume of
production.
Volume of production reduces
manufacturing costs as far as
the individual article Is con-
cerned. Likewise it reduces SELL
ing costs In consequence. the
merchant buys at a standard
price and sells at a minimum
standard profit per sale.
Advertising by increasing sales
makes lower prices mean more
money to the merchant-more
moneys worth to the consumer.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-03-22

The function of advertising is
five-fold.
To enlighten or educate-to
create new wants or to satisfy
old ones-to protect and foster
legitimate enterprises-to es-
Aabllsh a medium of under
standing between buyer and SELL
cr as a basis for mutual profit
and advantage-to fix an econo-
mical price and the mainten-
dnee of a standard of quality.
