Merchant is in a Bad Way

If the retailers of Augusta only
knew, as l know. what advertising
can and will do for them, the print
nights and the X. j. would be so big
that they would have to deliver it
by truck" This was the statement
of Percy H. Whiting of the Central
Maine Power Co. in his address on
advertising. Friday night at the
regular meeting of Augusta Rotary
at the Augusta House. Mr.. Whiting
continued. IF Augusta merchants
will wake up to the possibilities OF
advertising they will begin diving in
stead Of just wading around the
edges"
He here recommended that more
advertising should be done in the
kennebec Journal. saying that he did
not know of another city in the Uni
ted States Of the size of Augusta,
which could boast of so sound an adj
Vertlslng medium. He also recon-
mcnded more direct by mail adver-
Using. saying that these two kinds
of advertising We're the backbone of
advertising for the men gathered
there at that time
In opening his talk. he said that
advertising did five things. First, it
lowers the cost of the article. The
usual idea is that it adds to the cost
but this is not right. while as a mat
ter Of fact it decreases the cost. The
question naturally arises. If adver-
Using costs money and decreased the
cost Of the article. who pays for ii I?
The answer is that advertising pays
for itself
Secondly It gets to the people quick
~. In this respect he cited two ex-
amples. One the fork, which was in
vented in the 10th century in Italy. 1t
took 200 years for them to become Of
common use in Europe. because there

pie was the Gillett razor which in a

one using the old fashioned straight
razor to one using the safety razor
This was done through a great adver-

low the staff of the bass. In their
appearance before the President at
the White House as we'll as in
theaters and concert halls in all the
large cities they have conveyed to
their audiences the weird beauty of
the Russian music. No less pleasing
is their Interpretation of American
folk songs.
The members of this famous or
ganiZation are Nicholas Wasilevsky,
selected in open contest as finest
tenor in all Russia; Nicholas VAS
