REMAINS THE SAME.
Well Brewed Postum Always Palatapi'

The favour of Postum, when boiled
according to directions, is always the
same-mild, distinctive, and palatable.
1t contains no harmful substance like
caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence
may be used with benefit at all times.
Believing that coffee was the cause
of my torpid liver, sick headache and
misery in many ways" writes an Ind.
lady. Il quit and bought package Of
Postum about a year ago.
My husband and l have been so
well pleased that we have continued
to drink Postum ever since. We like
the taste Of Postum better than coffee.
as it has always the same pleasant
favour. while coffee changes its taste
with about every new combination or
blend.
"Since using Postum l have had no
more attacks of gall collie. the heavi-
ness has left my chest. and the old.
common. everyday headache is

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. II they did
1t would save them many dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot OF INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out OF the business
When manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
ton in his bands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er OF his goods. with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer
Ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro.
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark Is an absolute guaranty OF puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address blow-pipe and instruc.
tons how to test the white lead for
