Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a 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 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 promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on tn EN- and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For
sale by F. L. Steib & Co.
