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?
Aus.-As there is no difference il
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller Oh a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
II both articles are brought prom
inent.y 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.
