BEFORE

A poor old granger and his wife
Stopped at the Inside Inn;
Their clothes were somewhat shabby
And their features somewhat thin.
He called the landlord to one side,
Said he, Kind sir, consider,
We've travelled many weary miles
In most inclement weather,
From South Dakota's western plains
To this, your little city.
The sad repasts that all have served
Would fill the soul with pity.
We ask you, then, in mercy's name,
Bring forth thy pantry's richest hoard
Gather the viands of every cline,
Heap high for us the festive board
The landlords eyes were dim with
tears,
And, Fastening quickly to the rear,
a sumptuOus Tepast prepared
Mid many a falling tear.

Merchandise Sold Under a
Money Back Guarantee Must
Possess Real Merit.

Money talks. The housewife should
listen only to the claims of manufacturers who
back their assertions with a money back guar
antee. [ have found in my years of Domestic
Science work that manufacturers of meritorlous
products employ the money-back-if-notsatished
policy of merchandising. Such manufacturers are deserving OF
housewivesp patronage and usually get IT,
No matter how good a manufacturer
may say his product is-if he lacks courage
TO offer a refund of purchase price, if buyer is not satisfied he
displays a lack of faith in his goods. In such instances the
purchaser assumes all risk-and there is always risk, when the
maker of merchandise refuses to stand by his goods with a
money back guarantee.
To make this point clear - consider
the advertising of a certain brand of baking
powder. The producers of this baking powder abolish the
uncertainty of buyers getting full moneys worth - as every
can't sold under a clear cut guarantee of money-back-if-not-
satisfied with bake day results.
Their advertisements state that their
product is superior-they say that it is unfailing
in results-pure in the can and in the food and that it pro-
duces absolutely pure and wholesome bakings. Furthermore
they assert that You save when you buy it and you save
when you use it" The phrase is so familiar to the housewife,
every one no doubt will recognize it as taken from a Calumet
Baking Powder advertisement. But to get back to my subject
the importance of those printed words lies in the fact that
the Calumet Baking Powder Co. put the proof before the
housewife with positive bake day results They invite her to
buy Calumet on a money back trial basis. They demonstrate
dependabiliy wah bake day results. They show her actual
savings in yealmoney. have tested Calumet Baking Powder.
The tests | conducted were far more exacung than could be
made by the housewife and those tests have proved the truth
of the Calumet Baking Powder Co.'S contentious. No house
wife can afford to refuse SO liberal a proposition. AL. should
give Calumet a trial - and millions have done so. That it
makes good its advertised promises is shown in the fact that
housewives who put it to a test continue TO use it.
