A PUBLIC NEED.
A Point That Enters into the 0ues-
ton of Success in Life.

Success IN business depends largely upon
whether tho articles produced and sold
are needed by the public. In fact. aside
from the questions Of good management,
ability, judgment and foresight, this q
the whole secret Of success. The great
cotton and wooden mills OF New England
are producing vast quantities OF these
fabrics because they arc needed Do tho
manufacture of clothing. Great shoe FACE
tories, paper mills, ETC., are running con.
tlnuously because the people need ina
shoes. paper and other articles produced.
Take for example the business that l>ai
grown up IN Lowell. Mass. since the vel
known medicine Hoods Sarsaprla, was
placed upon tho market. Tho laboratory
where this medicine IS prepared IS me
largest in Che world. and why? Hood
Safsapariila has The greatest sales ia tAe
world. in other words so many people
have found that they need Hoods sarsa-
parlla that 81 requires this immense
building. and an army OF workmen. che.
m.s,s clerks. accountants and steno-
sraphers TO attend Go the business Of pre-
pairing and selling the medicine.
OF course lt must Doe understood that The
success attained by Hoods sarsapar.la
would have boon impossible without MORT
I'm the medicine itself which leads people
to take Hoods slrsaparln FOO preference
