There's 4 good deal OF

There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping Of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words onLy acvras.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that YOU
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf.
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"

guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and

parent.
Doesn't it strike you that
a medicine which the makers
have SO much confidence in,
is the medicine for you?

of the king. in fact his chief character
istic. was his stomach. He had q
paunch that was simply enormous.
The Merry Wives Of Windsor found it
hard to squeeze jolly Sir John Falstaff
into an immense clothes basket, but IL
they had had to deal with q man as big
~ the fat king Of Wurtemberg they
would have had to use coal bin or box

On certain days when the ldng was
feeling well he would give his people q
chance to look ct him. And he would
grant the favor BY appearing at one of
his palace windows. He cculd net get
