L. S. Ayres & Co. DO NOT Use Comparative Prices “One of the interesting sidelights on comparative price advertising was brought home in a novel way not long ago in a tabulation by the Truth-in-Advertising Bureau of the St. Paul Advertising Club. Taking a single day’s issues of St. Paul newspapers, the bureau calculated total ‘savings’ from advertisements of the type of ‘Was so much, now so much less,’ and ‘Value so much, now reduced to,” etc. “The bureau estimated that there was an average of ten items of each article advertised, making the total offered ‘saving’ to the public, in one day—$48,536. ‘‘Or was that the loss suffered by the merchants ? ‘‘Ordinarily, retail success is not so created. And the merchant who so advertises lays himself open to question as to capability or dependability, or both.”—From February Associated Advertising.
