HOW ADVERTISING FAYS
In atorokeopiag the money Is In tho
number of profit* t* all aalaa rather
than In the also of the profit on eeab
ml a.
For example. )m the hotel where the
writer stayed tho other night, a man
,ai tho telegraph station gave the girl
a ten-coal tip for sending a (fty-eont
t'^tnam- The girl got move profit
••t of this one marnags than the oom

modern merchandising. which is at

Voloma atln at the fall sat fatal
hta profit aa sash tale, with aa maty
stocktum* aa paaalbla It a year—
thaae are the A B C*t of retail success
It the hardware, procery, or any oth
er field. Aad as soon at a merchant
b«*ina ta put thaw into practice, be
bapiaa to multiply bit profits.
Ota of the simplest Illustrations of
turnover la It the dve-and-ten-cent
store. It Is said that to thaae stole*,
the Hem of atoek that britps In the
blppeat return Is teld an the anal)set
uaapin af profit] This I teen is candy.
The reason is this! a atoek af candy
** “tun*ed*1—aald eases times per
year than any other item the "Ire
und-tens” carry.
A stock of candy la sold out each
week. Experience bat made U possi
ble to buy just the a mo ant that wlD
needed to last a week, and ao at
She end of each seven days the com
pany lias Its Investment back, plu* a
•roflL
Suppose the profit made on each
week's supply of candy Is 4 par eent.
Sines the stock Is tamed over 61
times s year, the total profit is 62
,im** $ P*r cent, or 208 per eent on|
the investment I
Of course this is an unusual csss.
Thu avenges business eannet hope to
tsk* such a rapid turnover. But it
•an work toward that end
If a merchant has $25,000 Invested
' n a stock of poods, and aelU this
stock oat four times a year, be bat
s "four-tlms turnover." He is really1
lolnf ft #100,000 nlum« of builneu
•n an invsstmont of *25.000.
If th« aalo of *26.000 worth of
T°0<*’ yl«Wa him 0 par eont net pro-,
fit, and ho tern* ovar *26.000 worth
if goods four time* ia the poor, he,
four times 6 per cant, or
*0 par cent not profit. And If ho could;
T**d op hi* aeDing Hut* turn his
stock one more time—Are times in
J*e r«ar—he would make U per cent
net profit This with si moot no ex-1
•ra selling or orerkead expense!
Obviously, a retailer's preparation
for Increasing annual turnover mast
begin with his buying. A merchant
■oust learn Ms customer's wants, mast
know when and bow to induce them
to increase those wants, nod he mast
bay those geode which ho esa edi
tors over—to people in the ahortost
possible time.
Ia baeoball. bench-warmera win no
tsrnes Ia retailing, ah elf-warmers
yield no profits.
Bay the goods that move. Although
Bote's so rule, ne one nowadays dia
betes the fact that Ranees of rapid
lumover arc ia favoa of advertised
goods.
Another argument ia favor of sell
lag at a small individual profit is the
fact that up to a certs la paint ef
huainam volume, the overhead ef
every business Is fatal
As long as a store ia opus, them
is aa overhead expense far rent, heat,
Wht. Insurance, dm* hire .etc, A
