Helping the Dealer to Sell

facturer of any specific trade
marked product as is production
and distribution. It is not some
thing that can be considered mere
ly as an expense to be curtailed to
the minimum. 1t is a creative in
f1uence which, more than any
other thing after the merit of the
product, determines the extent of
the consumer demand.
Too often the manufacturer
thinks of his advertising as a
clever means of impressing the
dealer with the desirability Of
stocking up with his goods, and he
does enough to accomplish that
effect, and then expects the dealer
to move the goods. This is a mis-
taken use of advertising and it
quickly reacts upon the manufac-
turer.
It is the business of the dealer
to provide the goods which the
public demand. He would be fool
ish to do otherwise, and would
soon cease to be a dealer. It is the
business of the manufacturer
meaning specifically, the manufac-
turer of a trade-marked article, or
one that might be trade-marked
to create a consumer demand by
means of Advertising.

CARRIES IT'S SUPPLY OF OIL
Fish Equipped by Nature for Swift
Race 1t Has to Make Up Cold
Yukon Waters:

A fish equipped with a special oil
supply for a swift race up the cold Yu-
kon river has been reported by DR. G.
FL. Gilbert to the United States bureau
Of fisheries. The reason why this fish
has this special oil supply is that it
must maintain a speed from three to
five times that Of the salmon in other
rivers, due to the fact that the season
is very short, and that the spawning
grounds are between 1000 and 5000
miles from the mouth of the river.
The Yukon "chum,' a fish of lowIier
degree, is similarly supplied with a spe-
ciaI store of oil. Known generally as a
species that spawns exclusively in the
lower courses of streams, often scarce
~ above the reach of the tides and
never far from salt water, in the Yu-
kon it shows remarkable reversal OF
habit, and under the spur of necessity
rushes up the river 1000 miles or more
to the spawning grounds at a speed av-
eraging 90 miles a day.
