Your Interest Our Interest!

II we were TO ask each reader in whose in
terest and for whose benefit our advertisements
are sent broadcast over the country, at least
NINETY whine out Of every hundred would at once
reply, your own of course, and in so doing would
no donbt feel that they had completely and cor
rectIy disposed of the question; yet the fact re-
mains that not enc Of the number would fully
state the truth of the matter Our advertise
ments are issued in the interests and for the
benefit of our customers and the public generally,
and car only do good it first benefits them.
An advertisement is generally looked upon as
method used by a merchant to draw trade that
will pay him profit, and so far as it goes the
reasoning is correct but it leaves the reasOner in
position to fall into the very grave error of
sidering al advertisements as selfish deViees cal
culated to benefit the merchant. and no one else.
Now, with us at least, this is not the case; but
before we go any deeper into the subject, wish
to preface our remarks with the statement that
we are not endeayoring to pose as charitable
institution, conducted solely for the good of our
patrOns-On the contrary, we are here to make
money. We sell goods for profit, and we want to
close the year with good balance on the right
side of the ledger but all this only makes us the
more anxious to serve your interests, for realize
that unless kindly feeling towards exists
among you, UNLESS YOU FEEL THAT 1T PAYS
TO BUY OF Us, unless you believe us fair and
honorable, then cannot enjoy your patronage
and without that we cannot succeed. Then, to our
way of thinking, il is to our interest to look well
to your interest, which makes our interests one
and the same, as both are striving to help the
buyer. We value your trade highly, and we want
it-nOt one purchase, but many all through the
year. Therefore, when yOu come TO our house, our
greatest anxiety is to look to your wants, to please
you, to save money for you, TO have you feel that
we have benefited you, AND THAT 1T Is TO
YOUR PROFIT TO TRADE WITH Us.
