G. r. Schaeffer of Chicago
Addresses Local Adver-
tiSerS.

"AH Of our theories concerning mer-
chandising and advertising are based up
on this cardinal principle of our bust
ness; that merchant has definite and
large responsibility to his community,
said G. Il. Schaeffer. advertising manager
Of Marshall Field & Co. Chicago. In
his address at the weekly luncheon Of the
Advertising Club OF indianapolis. at the
Chamber of Commerce building today.
He said that the very act of opening
his doors and asking the public's patron
age implies an obligation of service,
and added that "by service We do not
mean simply courteous salesmanship.
prompt delivery and the like. but that
it meant service IN the larger sense of
the term--the ascertaining and the full
filing Of the public's needs and desires
in the best possible manner, and the
furnishing of merchandise representing
the maximum of value that can possibly
be offered at the price.
In touching upon the matter of adver-
tising he said that ito us. advertising
is simply printed salesmanship. We use
It to tell the public about our merchan-
disc. our policies and our purposes and
IDEALS. With 1t we try to sell our goods
in just the way we would like TO have
our salespeOple sell them With 1t we
try to convey a correct impression and
understanding of our institution. BY its
wording and by its appearance we try
to attract the public to our custom. and
to make the public understand just wha t
to expect when they come to us 10 do
business
He said that it was not time now to
curtail advertising. and added: We have
been increasing our appropriations right
along each month since August. 1920. when
radical price readjustment began. Com
petition is keener than ever before In
business history We believe that an in
tensely aggressive advertising policy is
vitally necessary in meeting the situation.
1--WE are strong believers in newspaper
advertising. The bulk of our appropria-
tiOn goes into the Chicago dailies. We
have spent as much as S120,000 in n single
month in this form of promotion"
He added that at very little cost it
carries your message to practically all
of your prospective customers each day,
quickly and efficiently If 1t doesn Z
pay handsomely, the fault is probably
with your policy, your copy, your mer-
chandise. or your service, and not with
the newspaper"
He said that advertising should not be
used as medicine; 1t should be used as
food, and that it will not necessarily
cure a sick business. 1T won't perma-
nently Offset poor merchandise and poor
service" he added at won't build
confidence and prestige unless it is
founded on dependability in your goods
and integrity in your business methods.
