THE ORPHANS
 OF MERCHANDISE

The public likes to know the percentage of the things for which it is asked to spend it's good money.
 A name made familiar through advertising carries with it a cer- tain pedigree. It breathes re- spectability and responsibility.
 Dealers find tt.at they are moving with the popular current when they display goods of known make and name.
 When those goods have been made known through the col umns of their home newspapers the dealers know they are carrying wares that have been introduced to their customers, and that are desired by their customers.
 The logic of good merchan- dising is to give the people what they want.
 Information regarding the ad- vantages of newspaper advertis- ing will be gladly given without charge by the Bureau of Adver- tising, American Newspaper Publishers Association, World Building. New York.
