Advertising Cuts Costs

A DNERTISING is not miraculous sys-
tenn to enable a merchant to sell shop
worm out-of-date merchandise for the same
profit that he expected to receive when the
goods were newly arrived in his place of
business.
In fact advertising is not a device to sell
anything that is not the most up-to-date
that the customer can secure for his money
The merchant who sells goods knows that
his merchandise must meet competition.
which means that it must be as good as any
thing offered to consumers whether the Of
fering is through personal conversation in
his store or in the columns Of newspaper
through Advertising
Advertising doesn't increase the utility of

the articles advertised to any prospective
buyer. This is the basis Of many attacks
upon advertising by those who do not real
ize that advertising is modern salesman
ship. Business men employ individuals to
sell goods. They do not expect statesmen to
improve the goods sold in order to Justify
to sell
Advertising is a sales promoter. 1t does
not affect merchandise except to speed up
its transfer from merchant to customer If
there are enough "speed-ups." the merchant
gets faster turnover reduces numerous
carrying expenses. and is able to operate
on smaller profits per item because he sells
more items.

Arlington Plans to Seal
125-Yeor-OId Tunnel

Arlington County officials are
planning to seal of a 125-year-
old tunnel believed to have once
run under the canal which
flowed between Rosslyn and
Alexandra.
Ofhcials discovered the tun-
mel entrance was clogged with
debris after reporters inquired
about it.
! Richard Writ. public service
director, said the county would
seal the entrance because it is
a potential safety hazard.
Its only value to the county
would be historic. and we
could open it up without any
trouble If we ever wanted to
restore it." Mr.. Writ said.
Cornelia Rose. county archi-
tect, said the tunnel has some
outstanding brickwork. The
ceiling is completely bricked
over.

built between 1880 and 1843

said.
Last year when a street sur
vey was being made, 1t was
found that a businessman who
used to own an establishment
nearby had put a door on the
tunnel and was using 1t for
storage of war surplus mate
rails. Mr.. Writ said. The door
has been torn of and the en-
tranceway now blocked with
debris.
Mr.. Writ said the man who
stored the surplus materials
has been ordered to get them
out.
The public service director
said one end of the tunnel was
blocked during filling opera
tons many years ago. He said
it now runs about 80 feet, most
of which is under the street

New Libel Trial
Asked by Lewis

District Judge George l.. Hart
jr., today has under advise
ment a plea by radio common
tator Fulton Lewis, jr., for a
new trial of a libel suit which
resulted in a $4,000 judgment
against him.
The damages were assessed
against him last January 81 by
a jury in a suit by Mrs. Pear
A. Wanamaker, so, former SUI
perintendent of public instruc-
ton of the State of Washing
ton. The award, largest ever
handed down by a District
Court jury, was termed "out-
rageous' by Mr.. Lewis attor-
ney, Roger Robb. Judge Hart
dismissed a motion by Mr.,
Rohb that the award be over
turned.
Mrs. Wanamaker charged
that Mr.. Lewis libeled her in a
1856 broadcast during which he
enormously used her name in
speaking of another woman
whose brother had renounced
his citizenship to go behind the
Iron Curtain.

Complaints run in cycles for
Shirley Stanford, Arlington
squirrel shooter.
Some days it's pigeons build
ing nests in somebody's rain
gutter and the next it's squir-
rels digging up somebody's tulip
bulbs to eat.
AS the only game warden in
Arlington, Mr.. Stanford's func-
ton has been a little difficult
to fit into one of Arlington
County's departments. Up until
last Wednesday he was at
tached to the sanitation divi-
sion but County Manager A. T.
Lundberg decided that squirrel
hunting was more a police mat
ter than a sanitation problem.
Accordingly, Mr.. Stanford
will shortly join the police
ranks.
Every since 1854, when he was
first appointed game warden
following squirrel biting COM
plants, Mr.. Stanford has been
popping the wildlife out Of
neighborhood trees with his
shotgun. He is quick to point
out. however. that he will do so
only at the request of the prop
erty owner-in writing.
