) THE COST OF ADVERTISING.
The unawake' merchant often won
" ders how some rival "can afford to
" apend so much money for advertis
ing." He Is sure that ha could not
' that It would bankrupt him In Mhort
; order to "plung" Into publicity on
the scale that the other fallow does.
"The other fellow" is not worrying
about the "trot" of his advertising for
the simple ro.aon that he dura no
nave to pay for It. Tn competitor
who cannot "afford" to adv-rtl real
ly, In effect, pays the bills of. the rnnn
who can "afford" it.

The buFlnt'HS he ought to have hi
"share" of the trade In his line go-
In Iarjt? part, to (the .competitor who

for It. The profits on the ti ad drawn
away from the tfinfd advertiser by ihf
aggrriv one pays the lattr' ad
