Large sums are spent for advertising, and the consumer some times questions' whether, as usual, it falls to his lot to pay the bill. Instances could be shown where advertising added to the price of goods. Many instances have been shown where adver tising lowered the price of goods. In the long run, competition eliminates non productive expenditure. Manufacturers obviously do not give millions of dollars through periods of years to publishers because of love alone. Advertising is a valuable aid in selling. You remember the man who if he had some eggs would have some ham and eggs if he had some ham. If Royal or Ivory, Victor or Gold Dust could bell goods at less cost without advertising, they would rival the woodland violet and blush unad vertised. In the long haul, the cost of sound advertising is absorbed by the economies in( selling it effects.
