Y., April 28 Wi Gilbert T. Hodges has fuels and figures to prove it pays to advertise even in times of economic distress. , Hodges is president of the Adver tising Federation of America .which has completed a study of the 17-year records of 120 corporations, sixty of these corporations failed to main tain their advertising programs. The other sixty eorporatioiis annually in creased their advertising expendi tures in spite of depressions at an average rate of 10 per cent over the previous year, Hodges first took tip the cases of the 60 concerns which enlarged tlieir advertising: . "Seventeen years ago mnny of these 00 companies j were small" lie said, "today every one of them Is num bered among the foremost business houses of America. Tliey have mul tiplied their net assets to four times what they were 17 yenrs ngo. lLast year their combined net prof Its were three times k renter than in the comparatively good year of J815. This dramatic testimony to the value of an unlwolten advertising policy should bring confidence and inspira tion to executives who want tangible proof that a courageous program, even In these difficult times, will pny. "Now let us look at the other side of the picture the dark side. Let us bcd what happpneri to the other fiO companies, the ones that pursued an erratic and uncharted course. "When times were good they plunged heavily. When the going became difficult they tightened their pnrso strings, "But this policy didn't work. Seven teen years ago every one of the GO firms In this erratic group was an Important national business. Today more than bslf of them have lost that position of importance. Many have perished.'
