TWO POINTED QUESTIONS Answered,

What Is the use of making a better
article than your competitor IL You can
not get better price for II?
Ans.-As there is no difference In the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much great
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make Is the best?.
II both articles are brought prominent
ly before tn public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
