IT I'AVS TO'AD VERTKiE Records of Corporations That Did and Did Not * Schenectady, N. V., April 28.?Gilbert T. Hodges has facts and figures to prove that it pays to advertise even in times of economic distress. Hodges is president of the advertising Federation of America which has completed a study of the 17year record of 120 corporations. Sixty of these corporations failed to maintain, their advertising programs. The other sixty corporations annually increased their advertising expenditures in spite of depressions at an average rate of I <> per cent over the previous year. Hodges first took tip tlie eases of tio concerns which enlarged their advert i sing: "Seventeen years ago many of these 00 companies were small. Today every one of them is numbered among the foremost business houses of America. They have multiplied their net assets to four times what they were 17 years ago. "last year their combined net profits were three times greater than in the comparatively good year of 1915. This dramatic testimony to the value of an unbroken advertising policy should bring confidence and inspiration to executives who want tangible proof that a courageous program, even in these difficult times, will pay. "Now let us look at the other side of the piteure?the dark side. Let us see what happened to the other sixty companies, the ones that pursued an erratic and" uhcharted course. "When times were good they j plunged heavily. When the going I became difficult they lightened their j pur-o st ring-. "Hut this po!,c\ didr.'t work. Sov- j enteen years ago every one of the. sixty firms m this erratic group was an important national business. To- j day more than half of them have lost! that position of importance. Many! have perished." The testimony for the last few days before the legislative committee investigating the state bank examiner's office was generally complaints that the state banking department failed to close tottering banks soon enough. Witnesses testified from Winnsboro, Gaffney. Union, Lai La, Darlington, Florence and other places where banks have bu.-ted during the last yea: or two.
