Advertising helps lower costs through mass production
Advertising concentrates demand on few trademarked lines, boosting output and lowering unit costs. As production rises from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, or from one loaf to six, costs fall. Large manufacturers lead with branded goods, while many small firms rely on private labels. Buy advertised goods bearing maker names and trademarks.
