HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL! -. -. -. -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it? -,t-., ~~
And what sort Of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are Offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
/. ure to many a merchant
From an intimate association
with wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community 1t
serves, and has the confidence
of it's readers.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"
