ADVERTISING MAKES
FOR LOWER PRICES
Among the many forces tending to
raise the cost of living it is encouraging
to find one other whose tendency
is in the opposlto direction
Advertising is tho friend of the con
sumcr It tends to lower prices It
does this in two wavs By leading to
greater volume of sales it makes possible
tho economies of large scale production
resulting in a lower rost of
production per unit
The second way is by reducing the
ro < ts of distribution A largo element
in the total cost of most products is
the cost of getting them from the factory
out into the bands of the final
consumer
Just what items the costs of distribution
include depends upon the method
of distribution but in general most
products pa > s through the hands of the
jobber and then through tho retailer to
the consumer This path from the manufacturer
to tho consumer might bo
called tho channel of distribution
The effect of advertising Is to lessen
the resistance to the flow of the product
through this channel That is tho
advertising enables both the jobber and
the retailer to sell the goods more easily
and quickly and in larger quantities
and to turn their stoiks oftoner ro
suiting in lower costs of selling
This all works to tho best interests
of the consumer a lower retail price
Moie 8erveYourBclf Stores
