Private Business Gets Preference Private business concerns should receive preference over state-owned cooperatives in the purchase of supplies by the Ore gon System of Higher Education, Dave Eccles, state budget direc tor, advised H.

The budget director declared that the private business concerns pay taxes while the state-owned cooperatives art operated pri marily for the benefit of the stu dents.

A. Vandeneynde, manager of the Sears store In this city. . News to the. effect that these expenditures, last year .reached the huge total of $11,409,649 and topped the largest previous figure by $147,886 was contained in an advertising - surrey prepared by Sears to assist its stores in plan ning the company's 54th anniver sary 'celebration to be held" from September 12 to September 28. Last year's figure represents an increase of 6.15 . per 'cent "over 18 3 S's expenditures and an "in crease of 1.31 per cent over 1937. itself n record year. A total of 893 newspapers located - in 47 states and the District of Colum bia were used by Sears during 1939. In terms of space the huge sum spent by Sears last year to get its sales messages across to custom ers amounts to 89.239,278 lines. This total exceeds by 14.467,861 lines, or 19.36 per cent, the amount of white space used the previous year. - Sears' advertising' study further revealed that all hut 8.34 per eent of the company's 1839 appropria tion for retail advertising went to newspapers. Of "this amount. 7.17 per cent was spent on cir culars and miscellaneous types of publications, and 1.17 per cent went towards the purchase of radio time. According to Vandeneynde. the fact that Sears is one of the larg est, if not the largest, users of newspaper space in the entire country has meant increased reve nue for a number of Oregon newspapers. Total advertising bought by Sears from these papers Jumped in 1939 to $102,265, an Increase of 24 per cent. In terms of space this expenditure amount ed to 491,852 lines. "Other than indicating Sears' continued recognition of the newspaper as - its primary retail advertising medium, last year's increased newspaper advertlsirg expenditures have no special sig nificance,' explained V a n d e n - eynde. "In view of a definite policy which Sears has consistently fol lowed since first entering the re tail field 15 years ago that of using the newspapers as our al most exclusive retail advertising medium the Increase was per fectly normal. It is pretty well accounted for by the fact that we opened a number of new stores during '39 and that our gross sales were the highest . in the history of the company during the same year, thus making avail able more money for advertis ing." "It is quite sppsreat from the study prepared by our national office that while Sears will not disregard other forms of adver tising, we will continue to attract customers into our stores through a liberal use of newspaper space."
