After The The great "buyers' strike" of 1920 21, a never-to-be-forgotten event in, the economic history of this country, i proved a point which must henceforth be recognized as basic and incontro vertible. It was discovered by merchants nr.d jobbers everywhere, in practically every line of merchandise,-that it was the trademarked and adequately ad- . vertised brands of goods that got the lion's share of the business there was . to get, while the preponderant loss'of sales fell on the unbranded and un advertised goods. This was a great "showdown" for Advertisings Its position as a factor in economic life was on trial. Had it really done what had always been claimed for it? . Had it created con sumer preference that would h.5ld against the keen competition of a sac rifice price on unmarked goods? The verdict of the buying public was unqualified. It was not a straw vote to determine popularity. It was the final test of willingness , to buy. The ballots were dollars. And the preponderant majority voted with their dollars that they preferred to keep right on buying - advertised goods. ' , With the whole country on a re- duced schedule of production and sales, the factories that were able to keep on producing, in anything like normal quantities, were invariably tho.se making trademarked and ha tionally advertised goods. , . Published by the Kinaton Fre Press, in co-operation with Tho American, Association of AdTertising Afescles! PAT. OFF. (NEW JERSEY)) 'N'J' . '. - , v. . Showdown All over the country . today manu facturers, jobbers, and merchants are giving serious "consideration to-' this . i important and conspicuously demon strated fact: the public prefer to buy ;. nationally advertised brands of mer- , chandise. And public demand is the , last word in all economic situations. No one can go against it, and long, endure. This will mean, then, that more and , . more manufacturers will seek out ' ways to make their products worthy , 6f a distinctive trademark and a sus tained plan of advertising. It will mean that-merchants will more and ' more give preference in their stocks . to advertised ; brands! It will mean that the jobbers will more and more . arrange to 'supply the merchant , with advertised brands. , , v , - . - But new advertisers, manufacturers , who are finally convinced that their -future lies in the direction of an ad vertised product, will discover that the magic power of advertising-can- not be applied overnight. It may re- . quire sustained effort to attain-a po-s sition of equality with competitors ;f -who have been advertising for smany ' years. This will be an unwelcome dis- -covery. But it will be found to be the truth, and will be their only hope of gaining a substantial foothold in what, from now on, must continue to be a more keenly competitive market than we have known for a generation. li?
