Afraid To Spend Less For many years in preparing the advertising budget I have started with a firm conviction that I am going to reduce it and I wind up by increasing it each year. There is always the question of how much return we get from the amount we spend. I have not solved this question yet, and until I do, I think I shall proceed along the same old line--spending liberally in advertising. The profit is still very good, the volume is good and while we may be in doubt about-the advis- ability of spending so much money, f am afraid if I spend less I will sell less--so the advertising man has his innings. -- Charles Piez, chairman, Link-Belt Company. Every worker may not be an em- ployee-stockholder, but every one of us invests in his job, either the best or not the best that is in us. OPEN TILL CDS.
