"Sir Charles Higham, apeaking on "Scientific Distribution" at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, said that there was no advertising medium so useful as the Press, and none that was responded to with such speed and proßt, News- paner advertising paid better to-day than it ever did. Most of the goods now consumed by the public were sold under a branded name, and the most economical method of distributing these was by Press advertising, properly done. The dealer would always stock
which An article. nationally advertised in the dally Press, because he was convinced, first, that the article must be good or it would not be advertised at all, and, secondly, that the public would respond to it because they knew that they were getting good value for their money. The busi- ness of the newspaper was to in- form, not reform. For the re- former, the advertisement columns of the daily Press were, puchas- able, and in the columns he could state his case. The Government: had found this method extremely valuable in increasing the sales of British goods through the Empire Marketing Board, and the recently Inaugurated newspaper campaign to increase the sale of British cars was already having. Its effect. These were two striking instances of the value of the. Press as an advertising medium to increase the sale of commodities in general,"
