When the Lawyer makes a mistake, it .is just what he wanted — because he has a chance to try the case all over again. • -When the Doctor makes a mistake, he hurries it. When the Judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law of the land. When the Preacher makes a mistake, nobody knows the difference. When the Electrician makes a mistake, he blames it to "induction," and nobody knows what that means When the Printer makes a mistake, he blames it on the "Devil."

What Advertising Accomplished in d Modern Business snd Why Business b Men Should Advertise Now— Com- ti mercial Prosperity and Progress Depends Upon Advertising r As a general principal may busi- t! ness man admits that it pays to advertise, but some times a business ex- a ecutive has doubts whether advertising is effective in his own business t or whether he should advertise now j, When all the facte are considered it c is absolutely certain that it pays to j advertise NOW. Recently there was a meeting of s one hundred national advertisers at r Lakewood, N. J. These advertisers j spend almost one-half a billion dollars t a year in advertising their names and a their. products. These advertisers de- c cided" that it pays to advertise NOW. t Sixty-nine of these men stated that r they would increase their advertising j appropriation for 1921, seventeen de- £ clared that their advertising appro- j priation for this year would remain c the same as last year, six were un- , certain and only thirteen had decided 1 : to reduce, slightly, their appropria- , tions. < In other words, these big success- 1 ; ful national advertisers know that it 1 : pays to advertise NOW. 1 ! Here are some reasons why their :

decision is correct and why if is good : C for you merchants to adver- 1 A now. Q ONE — Advertising searches out the X respective customer. 1 1( Two — Advertising makes possible H standardization of products. W Three — Advertising stabilizes sales O and builds good wilL ft Four — Advertising disseminates ft trade facte, announces new discover- Q and consequently jiakes for in- A creased efficiency and speeds up production. X In other words, advertising is consumption insurance. The sale of any Vf product depends upon three factors, y? upon general business condi- v tions that are beyond the control of ft any one manufacturer or dealer. Sec- Q ond, on the ability of Buyers to adopt X their business to fundamental eoono- X mic conditions. Third, upon the abil- c( of the sales organization through Yf advertising of every description and V personal solicitation by salesmen to v create a desire for the particular ft product. The first two factors are ft beyond the control of a sales organiz- ft ation, particularly in a 'period of re- « organization as at present. All the o more reason therefore why every V organization should put j C every ounce of energy and thought ft into advertising NO^S. ft
