THE mistake many Advertisers make is to place their advertising expenses to current account instead of to capital account. Suppose a yearly expenditure of £IOO in Advertising produces a net profit of only £2O for the first year. Undoubtedly this does not mean a loss of £BO, but it means a return of £2O per cent upon capital invested ; for the business is there, and will remain if properly looked after, and a second year’s Advertising will most certainly increase the profit on the full capital to 30 or 40 per cent.
