Advertising and Quality.

Quality is the only permanent basis
of success in any article. There is lit
tie money in selling an article once.
The profit comes when you sell some
one kind of thing over and over again.
To get that kind OF trade. you must
deliver the goods.
A business man who paid down good
money to advertise goods that he
could not back up would be fool.
The wider he distributed them, the
more trouble he would have. Not
merely would the goods come back,
but the people who bought them and
were disappointed would tell all their
neighbors. This would create bad will
instead OF good will.
The public understands these facts
perfectly. When a merchant talks
publicly about his goods. the public
looks at it as a guarantee OF good
quality. In fact. advertising standard
ICES quality. The public accepts the
statements made in well advertised
$ tore at face value. feeling that the
merchant is under the bonds OF pub
iicity To make good.

During the Present Year Thirteen
States Have Passed Laws Allowing

Thirteen states have passed laws

compilation by DR.. Il. Stage Within,

Arkansas. Delaware. Florida. Illinois,

West Virginia and Wisconsin. AS
many other states had previously
passed similar legislation. but few Of
the forty-eight states have not adopted
the policy Of using prisoners to build

West Virginia and Iowa are the two
states whose laws regarding the work.
ing of convicts on highways stand out
most prominently. So anxious was
the governor Of the former state to Sc
cure an effective law that he went to
New York and with the assistance Of
representatives Of the national COM

of the legislative drafting bureau
worked out bills making compulsory
the employment of convicts on the
