What Do You Buy?

People often refer to buying certain things, but what they
actually buy is something else. For instance, they don't puy d
newspaper. they buy news. When they go to a theatre, what they
actually buy is entertainment, not theatre tickets. 1ney don't
purchase an automobile, they buy transportation.
They don't buy printing from a printer what they BUY Is
skill ability. technique. What he delivers is printed matter, Dl
they pay for brain work, not merely mechanical product
Some printers place a higher value on their skill and ability
the product of their brain, than others do. When this IS the case,
if is usually because their product is worth more; Just as the
executive whose services cost $4,000 a day, is worth more taah
the laborer whose services cost soc. an hour.
The difference is in knowledge of paper, press work, color,
typography layout, art, and of general business principles.
The greater portion of printed matter is made primarily to
sell merchandise or service, and the effectiveness with when II
accomplishes this purpose alone determines Its value TO the
consumer.
