TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What is the use Of making better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it ?
Ans.-As there Is no difference, in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while onr profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought promi.
nentIy before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgement on
them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may OCCASION
ally take up with some fashionable
claims but are certain to return to the
one remedy that they know to be re-
liable, and for coughs, colds and
Group there is nothing equal to
