The bulletin was prepared under the

and coutalnx reports presented to the
Oregon Retail Merchants' association
in convention at Corvallis last Febru­
ary.

Of the six merchandising groups
from which data were gathered, the
department stores were found to de.
vote the greatest amount to advertia
ing. which was 3 32 per cent out of a
total operating expense of 23.79 per
cent. At the other extreme the gen­
eral stores werS found to use only 45
per cent out of a total of 18.23 per
cent.
Furniture stores reported an aver­
age of 1.74 per cent of a total expense
of 28.92 per cent used In advertising,
while grocery stores vaeraged a mere
.50 per cent In a total of 12.88. Hard­
ware stores alao devoted a compara­
tively small budget to advertising, the
total being .73 per rent In a total of
22.05 per ce n t
Drug stores were
about the same with 1 per rent de­
voted to advertising from a total i.f
27.06 per cent.
In general the Oregon figures for
advertising were lower than in other
surveys throughout the country with
which comparisons were made. Ex­
ceptions were that department stores
here spent about a third more for ad
vertlalng than those In an extensive
survey made by Harvard university,
and that grocery stores here, even at
their low figure, exceeded the stores
in Nebraska. General stores In the
Harvary survey devoted four times as
much to advertising.
The bulletins may be obtained free
from the extension service. Some are
being used by merchants to compare
their own costa with those of others.

Women Delight
te its marvelous handling ease
Offering smartness and distinction never
before attained in any low-priced six and re­
flecting exceptional good taste in appointments
and upholstery, the Pontiac Six is a car which
invariably wins feminine admiration. And
that admiration turns to sheer delight when
they leave the back seat and drive the car them-
selves.
They know the Pontiac Six is a dependable
car. And they quickly discover an ease of
handling that makes every mile a pleasure.
The powerful four-wheel brakes answer the
lightest touch. The bigmotor is s m tx ith , quiet
and responsive, and the clutch and tr a n s m ia .
alon are exceptionally easy acting.
Every day you see more and more women at
the wheels of Pontiac Sixes—because Pontiac
provides at a price within reach of almost
every purse, everything that women demand
in a motor car of their own.
