WADK, Prosidont, JIERCANTILE TRUST COMPANY OF St. Louis. DO I believe that a banker con siders reputation, as devel oped by advertising, in extend in p; credit? There probably arc bankers who will give a ncKalivo answer to this question and be lieve they are giving the right answer. P.ut let those bankers be ap proached by a credit-seeking na tional advertiser, who has estab lished his name, therefore a market for his goods, and see what happens. In nine cases out often the fact that those goods have become a household "buy word" will be the greatest fac tor in granting tho credit. The banker himself will have become subconsciously sold on the firm, through its consistent advertising. lie will say, "Oh, yes, that's a big house well known, good reputation," etc., not realizing that it was adver tising that did the work. The next minute he may be approached by a new company, trying to make its name, and turn down the loan because too much of it is to be spent for the purpose of advertising. In the first application he has helped the big advertiser to cash in on his reputation, and in the second was depriving tlie newcomer of the right to build a reputation. This is only a hypothetical case, and I nm glad to say I don't be lieve it happens as often as it did in tho past. Just as we learn something new every day, so ev ery day another banker wakes up to the underlying power and pull of advertising. ROSEBURG NEWS - REVIEW The Payer's flulde.
