Building Business
for the Long Run

dealers, in every line of merehan-
disc, are giving a new emphasis to
their preference for lines of mer-
chandise that are trade-marked and
adequately advertised by the manu-
facturer. The public, during the
period of minimum sales, demon
strated its preponderant preference,
for advertised goods, and the dealers
will not do. otherwise than accept
the situation and build their business
for the future in harmony with it.
Thousands of manufacturers who
today are facing shortage of de-
mand for their product, andswho see
what demand there is going to COM
petitive manufacturers who have in
sured their own market by means of
advertising, are now looking to adj
vertising as the logical key to future
selling success.
It is highly important then, in
seeking to apply the force of adver-
Using, that it be considered not as
ready made cure-all for sales mac
tivity, but as permanent factor in
business building.
Every advertising plan that can
lay claim to wisdom or hope for
long run effectiveness requires three:
things: First, to determine what
are, unquestionaby, the best objec-
tives for the business in the long
run. Second, what are the best
means, all told, of obtaining those
detectives. Third, how and to what
extent advertising can be assigned
it's rightful place among and in re-
lation to those means.
The Washington times., 1923-04-23

The truth about anything requires
a certain perspective. If viewed too
closely, even a masterpiece cannot
be understood or appreciated. 1t
takes certain distance to bring out
it's values.
This is especially true in building
a business, and in using advertising
as one of the means of building it.
The clear vision comes only with the
consideration of what is best in the
long run.
One seasons business may be alb
normally large or abnormally small
due to conditions over which the
owners of the business have no con-
troll To consider the business itself
as safe and sound just because, at
certain season, the orders are COM
ing in, is often a dangerous fallacy,
far more threatening to the eventual
welfare of the business than a sea-
son of slow business that makes it
difficult to keep going.
During the past few years eco
nomic conditions have combined to
prove the fallacy of hand-to-mouth
policy of manufacturing and market
ing, always at the mercy of market
fluctuations, with, the manufacturer
helpless to influence his market.
And, on the other hand, these condi-
tions have proved the wisdom of
considering the long run and MAX
ing all plans in accordance with that
view.

nomic changes, and of lessons severe
