The Reason For Advertising.

Advertisers Use The Star
because they get profitable
resuItsfrom their advertising
IN IT.
They know, also, that
each one pays a like price
for a like service.
Advertising space is not
given to one house in order
that It may act as a decoy
duck for others.
No discount" for one,
special discount" for an
other and extra special
discount" for still another,
Like price for like service
is the only fair way.
