ADVERTISING AND ADVERTISING

This is the age of publicity and
he who employs the best medium
for reaching the buying public
achieves the greatest success.
For many years newspapers fur
nished the only means for carry
ing messages to the buying public.
Later, magazines and other peri
odicals entered the field; then
circulars, and finally the radio.
Volume advertisers employ ad-
vertising experts who are con-
stantly on the job studying the
subject, and well they may for
they annually spend hundreds of
millions of dollars to create and
stimulate buying.
These experts are generally
agreed that no medium of pub
licity approaches the newspaper
which enters the home and is read
by every member of the family,
and often by neighbors who are
not subscribers. As result of their
studies circulars have been dis
carded as of little value. The
radio as an advertising medium
has seen its peak. A recent sur
vey showed that 500 of the radio
audience turns the dial onto some
thing else when an advertising
talk is on. You cannot turn off
the home town paper. You can
throw 1t away but you never do
until you have read 1t throughout.
Ask any rural mail carrier
what the mail patrons do with
purely advertising matter that
patrons have not written in for.
He will tell you that they are
invariably thrown away at the
box or on the way to the home,
which shows conclusively that
that kind of advertising has no
appeal.
The merchant who reasons that
he is so well known that he does
not need to advertise is counting
a visit from the sheriff. Older
readers will recall st. Jacobs Oil,
a remedy that was in the medi-
cine cabinet of nearly every home
in America thirty years ago. 1t
had been placed there by the ex-
cellence of the product, aided by
a great and intelligent campaign
of newspaper advertising that ex-
tended over a period of many
years. We can visualize their ads
even at this late day. Finally, the
original owners sold out to some
concern for a large sum of money.
The new owners of ST. Jacobs Oil
reasoned that the product was SO
well known that further advertis-
ing was throwing money away,
and by disseminating the use of
newspaper space they could effect
a saving of something like two
million dollars per year, the sum
the former owners had been
spending to keep their product
before the public. What hap
pened? Sales Immediately began
to fall off and in a few years st.
Jacobs Oil became but a memory
with the old timers. The owners,
of course, went to the wall.
Countless others have met with
the same experience, and yet 9TH
ers, who persist in following in
those footsteps, will meet the
same fate.
Newspaper advertising brings
buyer and seller together at less
expense and with much greater
effect than any other medium.

mits.
