Who Really Paid?

Once upon time, there We're three
competing mousetrap makers, all do
ing about the same amount Of busi-
ness. Each charged the trade twenty
cents a trap. The merchant retailed
for thirty cents One day one of the
manufacturers decided to spend one
cent per trap To advertise He did not
raise his price to the dealer, and the
dealer did not raise his price to the
public. The advertising trap maker
kept up the advertising for couple
of years, when it was found that his
business had grown to such a volume
that he could build better machinery
So. instead of turning out a trap for
fifteen cents, BY quantity production
he could make better trap for ten
cents. This ne was able to sell to the
dealer for fifteen cents, and the deal
er sold it to the consumer for twenty
five cents. Now, who paid for the ad-
vertising? Not the consumer, who
now got better trap for less money
Not the dealer, because he now made
better percentage Of profit, gave his
customers better value, and made a
quick turnover. Neither did the man
ufacturer pay for the advertising be
cause he now sold 50 many more that
where he used to make FIVE cents
profit per trap and sold thousand
a day, he now made three cents pre-
trap and sold three thousand day.
He was selling three times as many
traps. Yet the supply Of mice had
not increased like that, By looking
closer it is discovered that the other
two mousetrap men had gone out Of
business. The men who really paid
for this manufacturers advertising
We're the two who had not advertised
and who paid with their business. If
the non-advertisers only realized it,
while they are talking about needless
expense of advertising, they are real
" paying the advertisers advertising
bills.

the standpoint Of sound elimination
alone, it is an engineering triumph.
The new Frigidaire cools food rapidly,
