The Manufacturer
and
His Trademark

Behind every trademark that
really amounts to anything there
are brains, energy. ambition and
work-hard work-joined hand
In hand to produce some arti-
Gle Of worth that will deserve
and win universal approval.
After a manufacturer has
spent great many years in or
ganizing his business and per-
fecting his product his name
and his trademark amount to
something worth while, or else
he has toiled in vain. The name
or trademark alone Of many a
big concern is worth thousands
and hundreds of thousands of
dollars. 1t is often called good
will. 1t might be called repu-
tation.
The trademark is the directing
finger. pointing the way to ar
ticles OF quality and dependable
ity.
Manufacturers Of trade-marked
articles are no longer satisfied
to advertise their trademark
only. They are coming to un-
derstand that they must also
advertise the place where their
goods may be purchased. That
is why you see trade-marked
articles advertised more and
more in daily newspapers. be-
cause the newspaper is the chief
advertising medium for creating
actual demand upon the retailer.

tive as unjust He read some OF the

pany had had with James G. Oakley rela-
tive to the matter and referred at length
TO the letter of President Crawford to
oakley. In this letter President Craw-
ford declared that the convict depart
nent had not acted fairly in not giving
the Tennessee company an opportunity
to renew the contract for period OF
three or six months until the company
would be in position. to use free labor,
and stated that the department had little
to gain as a result of such action
