Two Economics Fa|Iacies Exploded
By Authorities After Detailed Surveys

Two common faaces were badly bounced around
recently.
One: That wage earhers gradually getting
smaller and smaller share of the national income as
great fortunes pile up. .@
Two: That advertising greatly increases the cost
of goods that things would be cheaper if they were not
advertised 49,. =
q First, Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins had
thorough study made of where the national income went
in 1888 And this the conclusion That the wage
earners share the greatest of year since any
calculation began to be made of the national income
Second, The Twentieth Century Fund, when mas peen
studying distribution problems found that the COST Oh
advertising is far less than many have supposed lne
cost actually is from small fraction OF per cent 10
a maximum of about 18 per cent.
On many widey-advertised products it was mini
esa and the for all goods was set at less han
per cent of the cost of the final purchaser Inc cost
for instance in cigarettes selling at Ia cents was just
over half cent package widely advertised soft
drink put less than 600ths of cents worth OF adver-
tising into each five-cent glass. standard breakas
food paid 3-1Ohs of cent for 15-cent package OBJ
viousy when the wider distribution, with consequent
lower production costs is balanced against such small
percentage expenditures these, good argument may
be made that advertising has actually reduced the cost
to the final consumer. -
There's one handicap of us amateur economists We
so often start off the wrong information that it's
no wonder if sometimes wind up behind some eight
ball on the pool table of economic theory.

Seven-Up Popular

In increase in the tendency o!
local families to enjoy soft drinks
in the home has been disclosed by
recent investigation. according TO
the bottlers and distributors O.!
Seven-Up, a leader in the carbonat-
ed beverage field.
One of ahe factors contributing
to this trend is the rise In popu-
larity of the six-bottle carton OF
Seven-Up. now being consistently
advertised in the Post and Press
These cartons. purchased at gro.
Gerry stores, fountains, soft drink
stands. etc, provide a handy way
of transporting the Seven-Up bot
ties. The carton Is of the proper
size for storage in the home refri.
gerator, and because it and the
bottles are conveniently returnable,
the price charged for six bottles is
the same as that charged for five
bottles when purchased separately
Seven-Up is favorite as a home
beverage because it may safely be
given to children. The drink is
entirely wholesome, being made only
from the extracts and juices OF
lemons and lines, plus inverted
sugar and highly charged water
The combination has gained con-
siderable fame for its thirst-quench-
ing qualities.
