Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a bet
ter article than your competitor il
you can 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 a 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 prompt
ly 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.
