What is the use of making a bet
ter article than your competition if
you can not get a better price for it /?
Ans.-As there is no difference il
the price the public will buy only
the better. so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
Ii both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgment on
them and use only the better one.
