The present agreement between

sold. Presently he fnds his
market expanded TO meet a
demand of two hundred
thousand tubes a year. He
discovers that economies in
manufacture now make Il
possible to lower the cost
per tube. The next year ne
increases his appropriation
to two cents per tube and
sells three hundred thou
sand tubes, and still fur
ther lowers his factory
cost, thereby increasing his
profit. The third years IN
crease of his advertising
appropriation increases his
distribution to five hundred
thousand tubes, still fur
ther reducing the cost of
production. He finally de-
cided that his profit is too
large. He cuts the price
below what it was during
the first year and makes
twice the profit.
This is no fanciful the
ory, but is a mathematical
proposition from which
there is no escape. The
manufacturer reduces the
selling price to the con-
sumer and actually makes
a larger profit through
quantity production that
comes as a result of ad-
vertising.
The man who increases
the annual volume of his
sales through advertising
is the man who can buy
in largest quantities at best
advantage, and hence it is
in his power to undersell
all competitors and at the
same time show a good,
clean profit at the end of
the year.

Amundsen recently went to New
York to make final arrangements
for the expedition. Meanwhile II. M.
Hammer, his personal representa-.
tive In the United States, is here
fitting the Maud for q seven year
journey.
"Amundsen is going to try to de-
termine just how much truth there
Is In the theory that there Is an
ocean current which goes over the
top OF the world. Ships wrecked in
the North Pacific ocean have been
found on the other side" Hammer
said. This has led to the belief
that whole ice-pack floats In this

Amundsen says the trip will take

him far from the North Pole, he is
really anxious to reach the Pole.
1T will be a great thing to have
reached both the North Pole and
the South Pole," he told Hammer.
