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.

Clemson College, April 30.?When
shelled corn is worth 60 cents per

cents, ground barley 48 cents, graund ,
ry*e 54 cents and ground oats 24 cents.
On this same basis wheat middlings ;
is worth $17.14 per ton.
These interesting comparisons as
to the relative veluas of the more ,
common feeds are quoted from Fix- I

"In studying these comparisons,"
Prof. Starkey reminds us, "ono should
hear in mind the standard weights
of the different feeds. When using
protein supplements it is always necessary
to remember that it takes not
more than half as much protein supplement
to balance a ration for hogs
which have access to the fresh gree.n
forages, such as soybeans, alfalfa,
rye, oats, barley and wheat."
Meals are furnished to school children
in Porto Rico at a cost of one
