Two Pointed Questions Answered


What is the use of making better arti-
Gle than your competitor if you cannot get
a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the

How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass Judgment Oh them and use only the
better one.
