ADvEsrls,so AND INVESTMENT


The idea prevails among some business people
that advertising is merely expense, something to
be added wholly to the operating costs of BUSH
ness.
II is, Of course, true that advertising Is one of
the necessary operating costs of business but it
Is also true that it is an investment creating values
fer future use.
When a concern advertises regularly, it builds
up good will It creates reputation for that con-
eesn for enterprise and progressiveness, and it
draws people to the store to see the goods thus
described. and good part of these people viii be-
come permanent customers.

Despite the still large content OF

encountered in extracting the gas
make the helium supply problem
particularly difficult. This is illus

1915 by the bureau of mines showed
that the average open flow of gas in
the petrolia field was 100000 cubic
feet per day per well.
Today the open flow is but $4,000

Production Falls
In August, 1925, the TT. Worth
helium plant produced 1,110,00o
cubic feet of henum gas. During this
past month the production had fallen
to less than 100000 cubic feet.
Some of this great decrease was
due to the fact that the plant was
closed down for few days for neces-
sary oyerhauling, but even in July
when the plant was worked at capac-
ity the production of helium was only
$4,000 cubic feet.

been greatly below demand. Bureau

Congress appropriates money for the
two 100000 cubic feet dirigfbles
