CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER.
Senate ratification of the seventeen million dollar appropriation hill
faction to every simon-pure Alaskan: as well as others who are interested
is due to the fact that there are Alaskan’s and Alaskan’s "hut not a great
many who really possess a sufficient regard for or interest in the territory
to warrant the appellation of "A^iskan. ’ To the gj-ent majority of so called
Alaskan’s, the welfare of the territory means nothing at ill They are here
for no other purpose than to get all they can out of the country with as little
as they can get away Their interest in the territory is confined entirely to
'•hat they can get out <>f it. As long as it contributes toward featlP-rinc!
passage of the appropriation measure may he <>f interest to this gentry hut

wealth producing sections of America if provided with adequate communiea

million and a quarter. With the opening up of the- country by the estab

T he merchant who spends—wisely—2 percent of his gross revenues
for advertising is able to sell his gfeo<)s more cheaply than is the
merchant who spends—equally wisely-j*hut 1 percent of his* gross
revenue for advertising. #
The percent of gross revenues spent successful merchants for
advertising varies from one percent to six percent. For limited
periods, while getting established In a new location, adding new lines of
goods, etc., merchants find it profitable—in fact NECESSARY—
to spend as much as ten and fifteen' percent for advertising. «
Lnder normal conditions the average, so far as any facts have been
disclosed, would seem to be a little less than three percent. Some <
investigators say two percent.
In cities where the expenditure for store advertising is as low, on
an average, as one and a half percent, the door is left wide open for
successful competition. The merchant who invades such a field
and spends .twice or thrtee times that margin for advertising can
always win. %
The merchant who argues that it would bp necessary for him,
in increasing his advertising appropriation, to add- to the prices of
his goods is not in btep with the spirit of these times. He does
not understand the economic value of advertising—which, l»y speed- •
ing up turnover, makes lower selling prices possible.
Adequate advertising, parrying real information about goods, is
the guarantee to the customer of proteetion from high prices and from «
undependable merchandise.
