They are sat Isfied with buying space in the newspapers which go in to the kind of homes where their particular commodity is used. They do not ask any other service of the newspaper publisher. They have a small army of sales men who visit the jobbers and retailers and who look after store demonstration, window-t rimming and house-to-house sampling. They have the United States and Canada divided into dis tricts and each district or territory is in charge of a General Sales Agent who lives in his territory. He is held responsible for sales and sampling, although his work is laid out and directed in a general way from the home office. If the commod j Advance Sale of Seats for Stecher .

If the product is sold direct to retailers, the work of tho General Sales Agent becomes larger and more complicated. The Agent must line up several thousand retailers and he must also give attention to the important matter of credits, lie should be per sonally acquainted with ev ery retailer in his territory.

Samples are cheap, but sampling is ex pensive. Having created a demand through newspaper advertising and sampling, it is expensive to follow it up with the necessary work with jobbers and retailers. It is not always easy to in duce tho dealer to stock up with a commodity in antici pation of a new demand for it, even though he may be satisfied that the article has been extensively advertised. Neither is it practical for him to do window trimming or store demonstration. He must depend on the grocer to ask for window trims and other store advertising. The 1 dealer is a busy man. ' He will seldom write for adver tising material, and if he does, the material is kicked under the counter or remains in the box in which it was shipped awaiting the con venience of the dealer which never comes.

The advertising manager or pub lisher should know all the jobbers and retailers in his town. If the national ad vertiser is spending a thou sand dollars or more in his paper he can easily afford to call upon the dealers, and upon the strength of the ad vertising he can finally in duce them to stock up with the goods and thus secure at no cost a complete distrib ution. He can even contract with a local agency for the distribution of samples from wagons, or he can use the coupon plan for pulling out samples that have been placed in the stores that will handle the goods. In the lat ter case, however, the dis tribution of samples will be confined to the subscribers of his paper. Here is co-operation that is within the reach of every well organiz ed newspaper a form of co operation that is merely a suggestion of the almost limitless opportunities of a publisher to make his news paper effective in helping the national advertiser to create a new market for hU goods.
