advertisements, two reactions
take place; No new merchan-
dise is offered for sale, no de-
scriptions of desirable food pro-
ducts or furniture or clothing
greets the eye or tempts the
appetite or awakens the desire
to buy. The possibility of a sale
is lost.
The other reaction which per-
haps means more at this time
than actual sales of merchan-
dise, is, that if merchants are
not advertising, times must
really be hard and unconsciously
the strings on the household
purse are tightened and expen-
ditures reduced whether the in-
dividual conditions warrant it
or not.

are normal, business comes in
a good volume without a great
deal of effort but when a de-
pression comes, or hard times,
as we say, it requires more ef-
fort, it takes more power to
get the same amount of busi-
ness.
“Stepping on the gas” in busi-
ness is equivalent to larger ad-
vertising appropriation. When
business is low, mer pressure
in the way of advertising must
be applied.
Advertising is more impor-
tant to business in times of de-
pression than it is when all

Some of this shrinkage is due
of course, to the general busi-

part of it is traceable directly
to an increase in bus and truck

THE substantial worth of the new Ford is reflected in
its good performance, economy and reliability. Its
stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in
sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy
extra burden on the automobile.
In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was
driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a
difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low
and practically the only expense for repairs was for new
piston rings and a new bearing for the generator.
The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of
mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has
never failed to go when I was ready,” writes one of the
three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did
the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The
gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a
trailer whenever I have a bulky load.”
Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory
performance. Every part has been made to endure — to
serve you faithfully and well for many thousands of
miles.
