WHY 1T PAYS TO

Because the advertiser has done

ments.
He can be trusted because his
very business existence is at
stake.

extent OF investing his capital,

right, but in advertising, which

The advertising is not only a
protection to the trade name, but
1t is the advertiser guarantee OF
quality.
You are justified in being sus-
plCiOus of unadvertised goods, be
cause, however much confidence
the dealer or manufacturer may
have IN them, he has not enough
faith in them to spend money in
telling others of their goodness.
