Wick Con1panyAdUertising
Is Doubled for Year

"Our advertising apprOpria-
tiOn for this season has been
more than doubled. As in the
past, the great bulk of this
money will be spent for news
paper space. And-alSO as in
the past-we expect it to bring
us satisfactory returns"
That is the aggressive policy
announced by Wick Chemical
Company, makers of Vicks Vapo-
Rub. Despite its enormous distri-
button, with over 100000 jars
used yearly, it's makers are uh-
willing to stand still in their

expenditures have never been de-
creased because Of general bust
ness conditions. Their present
attitude towards business is en-
couraging and they say they don't
believe VapoRub demand has
reached the saturation point.

this particular year MAJ appear
very unusual tc an outsider in
view of present conditions-but
it is merely following precedent
for this old established company.

Success In Depression
Some years later, in the gloomy
business season Of 1907, the first
real Wick Company was organized
to get national distribution, and
it was in this period of financial
distress that their first aggres-
sive newspaper advertising-to in
troduce Vicks VapoRub nation
ally-was started.
Success attended that first effort
and in all he years since
through prosperity and depres-
sion alike-the Wick slogan of

COMPANY SAVES
BY BOOSTING
WAGES
Mensanto Chemical Tits
Output and Cuts Costs by
10 Per Cent Scale Increase

During a period Of prevalent
wage cuts, Monsanto Chemical
Works at its st. Louis plant has
undertaken an experiment in
wage increases.
During the second quarter of
1881 the average hourly rate paid
in Monsanto's st. Louis plant, to
production labor increased 10.4
per cent over the average hourly
rate paid in the second quarter
of 1929, yet the labor hours con-
Sumed per unit of output de-
cliaed 23.7 per cent and the labor
cost per unit of output declined
15.5 per cent in a comparison Of
the two periods.
Even Better in 1880
Due to smaller output in 1880
comparisons with similar period
of that year is even more favor
able.
Edgar M. Queeny. president, in
explanation stated:
"The chemical industry has
never paid top wages to its
operating workers, who have
been recruited largely from the
common labor group and then
trained to operate chemical
equipment.
Building Up Surplus
We felt that with a large
surplus of high type Of labor
available, we were accorded an
opportunity to raise the
standard of the average worker
in our plants. The 1929 wage
rate, we felt, would not be suf-
ficient to hold a high-type man
permanently if and when bust
ness returned to its level Of
activity.
I'VE, therefore, set a scale We
believe would continue to at
tract the best of unskilled men
in normal times, Systematically
weeded out the less efficient of
our workers, and replaced them
with the cream of the many ap-
plicantS that appear at our en-
plOyment office every morning.
Experiment Succeeds
The experiment has been
distinctly successful, and, bar.
ring q further slump in the
chemical markets or further
downward adjustment of costs
of living, which we do not
anticipate, or other unforeseen
conditions, we feel there is NO
justification to lower our preva-
lent wage scale.
Our policy has given us the
benefit of lower labor costs and
a better grade of employees, and
employees who have effected
this saving are receiving ap-
prOximately, 40 per cent Of it in
increased hourly rates."
