The attractive ga advertisements which
are appearing in our column speak for the
largest makers of horse blankets in the
world, who sell more horse blankets, lap
busters, horse sheets, fly nets, ETC., than all
| the other makers com bined. This enormous
business has been built up by following
three sound business principles. By making
strong honest goods which wear and give
satisfaction so you will ask for them again
and recommend them to your friends By
sewing their ga trade mark on the inside
of their horse clothing so you can tell the
genuine from the poor limitations. Last but
not least, by advertising literally in the
newspapers and letting everybody know
that 5-A horse clothing for summer and
winter use is strong and will give satisfac-
ton. A house which makes a good article
and does not advertise hides it's light under
bushel, hut liberal advertiser like our
ga friends will find that the American
people appreciate good thing and will buy
| it when told where 10 get it.
