Developing this inoiiRlit, Ii. M.
Barton, adveritsiiiR director of the

delegates to the Pacific Coast Ad

the distribution of merchandise
that many manufacturers reduce
their sales cost through the uae
of it.
"Newspapers today are such an
Important factor in the distribution
of merchandise," Barton said,
"that manufacturers first seek the
Retailers who use the newspaper
advertising themselves. , They
know, both of them, that newspa

"The manufacturers salesmen

"If I were asked why any adver
tiser should use newspaper adver
tising, my reply would be: 'It costs
least and serves best.'
"Newspnper advertising Is flexi
ble. It Is a god-send to the man
ufacturer, or, what we in the news
paper industry, term the national
advertiser. When I say 'flexible,'
I mean It may be used at will and
in keeping with local conditions In
every part of the country.
"Can you imagine a manufactur
er of electric fans advertising his

cember? Yet, he may profitably

In December. The same method
In reasoning applies to almost any
kind of merchandise."
Ten Reasons Given
Ten reasons wore listed by Bar
ton In support of his statement
that newspapers occupy first place
in both the distribution and sale
of merchandise. The reasons were:
Practically no waste circulation:
ths reader can act instantly by g
ing to the dealer and buying;
practically everyone reads news
papers: newspapers are timely and
up to the minute; tho potential
buyers can be selected to conform
with places where dealers are
ready to sell; charges can bf
made to conform to conditions of
the locality; a waste of: advertis
ing money is not necessary to get
a dominant position; Intense read
er Interest; the dealer benefits
from national advertising used In
conjunction with his own adver
tisement; advertising and distribu
tion may go hand In hand, placing
the advertising near the dealerand
the dealer near the advertising.
