1t is natural thing, when we
make something good or do something
creditable, to want to tell folks
about it. Even a hen clucks and
cackles when she lays an egg. 1t is
pride of accomplishment which
prompts manufacturers to spend thou
sands of dollars in advertising their
product to the world The very fact
that he has made something better
which the world wants, prompts
him to tell of it. Unadvertised
goods are likely to be goods with
out pride of making back of them,
which would naturally argue against
their worth. Certainly it is unwise
to take chances when we have so
many advertised brands to guide US in
buying best. Every advertisement
in this paper is proof of the ad
vertiser's confidence
