Pay and Repay; There is probably no advertiser in America with an appropriation adequate to the national opportunity. The adequacy or inadequacy of an advertising appropriation has nothing to do with the financial resources of tne would-be advertiser. Wrigley spends a large amount for producing sales, and last year, after taxes, this gum company made more than four million dollars profit. John Doe, who may wish to compete with Wrigley, should reckon first on what should be appropriated for advertising, and second, on whai he can appropriate. Perhaps he can choose a" limited sales terri tory and use some intensive methods perhaps he may have more clever sales plansor perhaps he may be willing to wait longer for his returns. Whatever the necessities, start right by think ing right in terms not of your ability to pay, but of the public's ability to repay for an adequate appropriation.
