A Public Statement on Brand Advertising

ONE Of the great falaces Of time In the saying Let
" man make better mouserap. and the world ocks
his door,"
That may be buried the Maine woods or situated In
the heart Of New York. but the world win not flock his
door until 1t knows that his mousetrap Is better than the
other fellows.
Yet how world to Must this mousetrap inventor
tramp the streets telling he meets about his product
Or Is II better for him to find dy tell millions Of people
Simultaneously?
brand advertising performs for the American public tells
the facts about that and better mousersp psc

public starts to buy.

Brand Advertising Assures Highest Quality
Were not for brand advertising the public would still be
unable today to judge quality from quality The public
would have protection from the substuto the black
market operator the of hoddy merchandise The
would have price standards guide her And
price maintenance itself necessary to perpeuaon Of
business enterprise would be non-exstent All the checks
and balances vital TO American business and industry
would be In a state Of chaos.
Take example, Cornakes There dozens Of brands Of
this cereal Could you tell them apart good quality from
poor lothoh the guidance Of the brand By which
you knoC them today?
Again the is obvious Without brand every
box-without the millions of sales pub
have been made known-Mrs Consumer would find herself
unable to shop at all.
Brand Advertising Means You Pay Less
But you this brand advertising add to the retail
price of these cornfakes?
The that far from adding to retail price advertising
makes all goods cost less.
To make single box of cornaes would hundreds per-
haps thousands of dollars in tedious hand labor your
wife wanted to purchase that single box of handmade
fakes the manufacturer would have pass this terrific
to you
But thanks to brand advertising this manufacturer able
simultaneously to tell millions of people about his cornakeS
is able make and sell thousands of boxes Of coakes
day instead of box at time is able to sell your box
of cornfakes for only few cents
We repeat For that low price you pay you thank
production which brand advertising has made possible
Many advertiser from time to time has thought to ire

which made his product But these advertisers have
often found late that products deprived of brand adver

They have succeeded Ford Camay Lux Flakes Wheae

 DEHYDRATED SOUPS
 Dehydrated soup takes longer to prepare than canned soup. But, Con- sumers Union reports after flavor tests, the best brands are apt to com pare favorably with canned soups of the same varieties. In addition, de- hydrated soups are cheap and take up little space in your cupboard or shop ping bag. Unfortunately insects like the dried soups, too-and many brands are not properly packaged to keep them out. Glass or metal contain CTS are best. If you buy soup in a cardboard, paper or cellophane pack age, inspect it carefully for pin holes or breaks through which insects might penetrate. GU found IS of the 65 brands tested infested with insects.

 Kennedy has agreed to do so and to offer some suggestions regarding the proposal, he said, after a talk with the President at the White House.
 Kaiser's idea is to permit manufac- turers with war contracts to transfer their machinery and workers to gov ernment plants which have completed their contracts and are going out of business
 This, he says, would enable manu- lecturers to change over their own plants to civilian production and bridge the gap of unemployment Kaiser holds is inevitable" under other suggested schemes.

DENTIFRICES


 Most of the ailments described by dentifrice advertisers either don't exist or can't be cured by dentifrices, Consumers Union says in report on tooth pastes and powders. ''Acid mOuth'' is one ex- ample. The mouth is normally slightly acid and, fortunately, no toothe paste can alkalize it for long.
 Bad breath'' is not so frequent as you'd suppose from the Sunday supplements nor can it be cured by dentifrice. Ordinary ''mouth bac- terior' are useful and should not be killed. ''Pink toothbrush and tender gums, however, may indi- cate a serious ailment which can't be cured by the use of tooth paste. If you have these symptoms for more than a short time, see your dentist.
 The plain truth is that dentifrices are not medicines and can't correct any abnormal mouth condition. Their main use is to make your toothbrush taste better and to help in cleaning. Either paste or powder does the job. Liquid dentifrices are less effective, GU says.
 GU tested 60 tooth pastes and 3l powders and found most brands ac- ceptable. Nine pastes and 10 pow ders were ruled out because they were too abrasive. contained harm full ingredients or otherwise failed to meet requirements. The follow ing were among the Best Buy tooth pastes: Milk-i-dent, Scien- tific 100 and various department store brands. Among Best Buy powders were Craig-Martin and Coop.

Fifty cent ther- mometers are every bit as exact as their $1.50 brothers. Only two ther- selling at 98c and $1- failed to meet accuracy standards.
 Some thermOmetrs have test slips showing zero error at various temperatures. GU tested a few of these and found they varied no more and no less than others.
