Thousand.* of manufacturers who to-
day arc facing a shortage of demand
for their product, and who see what de-
mand there is going to competitive
manufacturers who have insured their
own market by means of advertising,
are now looking to advertising as the
logical key to future selling success.
flic truth about anything requires a
certain prospective. If view too close-
ly, even a masterpiece ctfnnot be under-
food or appreciated. It takes a certain
distance to tiring out its value.
Ono season’s business may be abnor-
mally large or abnormally small -due
to conditioiui over which the owners of
the business have no control. To con-
sider the business itself as safe and
sound just because, at a certain season,
the orders are coming in, is often a dan-
gerous fallacy, far more threatening to
the eventual welfare of the business
than a season of slow business that
makes it difficult to keep going.

line of merchandise, are giving a new
emphasis to their preference for lines
of merchandise that are trademarked
and adequately advertised by the man-
ufacturer. The public, during the per-
iod of minimum sales, demonstrated its
preponderant preference for advertised
goods, and the dealers will not do other-

their business for the future in har-

During the past few years economic
conditions have combined to prove the
fallacy of a hand-to-mouth policy of
manufacturing and marketing, always
at the mercy of market fluctuations,
with the manufacturer helpless to in-
fluence his market. And, on the other
haml, these conditions have proved the
w isdom of considering the long run and
making all plans in accordance with
that view.
It is highly important then, in seeking
to apply the force of advertising, that
it Ik- considered nqt as a ready made
<ure-all for sales inactivity, but as a
[h rinanvnt factor in business building.
Every advertising plan that can lay
claim to wisdom or hope for long run
effectiveness requires three
First, to determine what arc,
tionably, the best objectives
business in the long run. Cecond, what
are the best means, all told, of obtain-
ing those objectives. Third, how und
to what extent advertising can Ik- as-
signed its rightful place among and in
relation to those mean*.
This is especially true in building a bus-
iness, and in using advertising as one of
the means of building it. The clear
vision comes only with the considera-
tion of what is best in the long run.
