Advertising Can Sell
First, the product that offers some new and better
way of meeting human wants. For such a product
advertising offers the cheapest, quickest means of
finding those people who will appreciate the advant
ages the new product offers.
Second; the product with hidden values that escape
the consumer’s untrained eye. For such a product
advertising can educate the buyer ujjtil he becomes
a discriminating purchaser.
Third, the product which—in lucid moments—its
owner will admit is no better than others of its kind. ‘
4 For such a product advertising can create a personal- ♦
ity that will make it stand out from competing prod
ucts like the one lighted house in a row of dark ones.
Which kind of product is yours? Have you
learned to use advertising to its needs?

Cotton Letter
New York, Dec. 6.—During this
entire week cotton has kept with
’in a range of fifty points, with
March around 23.35 as the average
price. Business in every depart
ment of the cotton trade has been
held in abeyance for the final
government crop estimate to be
published on Monday, It is na
tural to assume that when the
suspense is ended, business will
resume its natural volume. Dry
goods distributors report very
light stocks in hands, of retailers.
An idea of the low state of mill
stocks is afforded by the Lan
caster Mills of Clinton, Mass,
which are putting on a night shift
on its 100,009 spindles to provide
yarns for its numerous idle looms.
The large amount of cotton on
shipboard awaiting clearance,
backed by the heavy into sight
movement of the past week, in
sured continuance of large ex
ports. Prices closed practically
