. The Nevada City Nugget, Friday, February 24, 1950—7 Every once in a while somebody comes into our office and starts a discussion about the COST of advertising .. not only in the NEVADA CITY NUGGET but in newspapers, magazines and the radio generally. Honestly, in our opinion advertising, particularly WEEKLY newspaper advertising, used judiciously and frequently, doesn’t cost money at all. Rather it helps move merchandise faster, permits distribution economies, provides for mass production and mass sales and: ultimately lower’ prices, with savings both for the consumers, sellers, distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers. Take for example the classic case of the nationally-advertised light bulb. It costs only one-fourth as much now as it did for an inferior one in 1923. Again, in 1929 the average radio set cost $135 and only a few thousand persons were proud owners. Now an average set sells for about $40 with ownership in the millions. And so it ° goes: Mass production, spurred on by good advertising has brought prices down. __ ADVERTISING PAYS . . .
