Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making bet
ter article than your competitor it
you can not get better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy the bet
ter, SO that while our 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 prom
inentlY before the public both are
certain to he tried and the public
wilt very quickly pass judgement OIL
them and use only the better one.
