He also showed that advertising IB used as an econoaue factor in the distribution because its influence is wielded through inch more extend ed a circle than the actual marketing and distributing organisation. In his discussion of trademarks, Mr. Sparks showed the psychology of pictures such as Old Dutch Cleanser, Scott’s Emulsion and Gold Dost; the wording in Keen Kotter, Pneada and Sapolio; geometrical farms as stars, triangles, crass and circle; dis connected groupe of letters and syl lables as “B.
