Two Sides of Turnover

and consumer preference. With
this demand as a fact, all selling
plans have a chance to succeed.
Without it they fail. The only
chance for craftsmanship to succeed
without an existing demand is for
craftsmanship to assume the task
that belongs to advertising-the
task of creating demand.
If the present efforts that are be-
ing put into selling were amply sup
ported by corresponding effort to
create consumer demand through
Advertising, the business condi-
tons of this country would be rap
idly changed into an era of great
prosperity-in spite of Old World
conditions and everything else.
The proof of this is the fact that
right now, under these very condl~
tons, the manufacturers who are
putting proper emphasis on Great
Ing a demand for their product, as
we'll as selling it, are doing big
business and are actually getting
the high turnover that others are
trying so strenuously to get through
intensive selling.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1922-06-26

The alert business man dealing
with present day conditions knows
that the big word today is "Turn-
over" Whether he be merchant,
manufacturer, jobber, or banker,
he sees that one thing with a clear
vision unbiased by the limits of his
own business. It is in the air, and
on the tip of every tongue.
And yet many of them entirely
too many-are thinking on only
one side of Turnover. They think
of it as meaning rapid selling-put-
ting money in and getting it out
quickly and at a profit. They real
ize that they must put greatly in
creased efforts back Of all their
plans for selling and distribution.
The other half of Turnover is the
consumer. All selling plans and
efforts fail if the consumer doesn't
want to buy. His desire for the
product must be created. He must
meet the seller half way. He must
be in mood to buy before the sales
man meets him across the counter.
That is the function of Advertls-
ing-to create consumer demand

Mother-Answer These Queries

Whenever there is something
wrong with your child and he does
not measure up to other children IN
weight or height and is. what we
know as 'under-nourished," there Is
always a cause. To find the cause
is frequently only a matter of ask
ing yourself a few questions and
answering them honestly. You
can't shut your mind to certain
habits of the child or certain food
idiosyncrasies and say: "Oh, l know
that isn't what is wrong with him."
because until you try eliminating
every little thing which might bring
about malnutrition you can't be
sure. Here are a few queries to put
to yourself.
1. Does my child get sufficient
food to nourish him and leave
enough surplus to store away as
fat?
2. Does he get the right kind o.
food-cereals, s%ucculent vegetables,
fresh and cooked fruits, an egg a
day, and four glasses of milk7
8. Does he eat his food in pleas
ant surroundings, and take plenty
of time to chew it properly?
4. Does he eat at regular inter-
walls, with no 'snacks' of candy and
sweet cake and cookies between
meals?
8. Does he drink milk and not
tea or coffee?
6. Does he get at least ten hours
Of sleep nightly?
Z. Does he sleep with windows
open?
