BUYING MADE SAFE AND EASY
How Advertising Saves and Protects
the Buying PubI;c-A Contrast
with Former DAYS

Does the average person ever stop
10 think what a safe and easy
thing buying has become in our day
What a contrast to the way it used
to be within the memory of must Of
US?
This applies to all buying-of ne
cessities. Of luxuries. of everything.
Mr. John Sullivan. Secretary of the
Association of National Advertisers. in
recent interview said some things on
this subject which should interest
every buyer in the world. For his
words apply to the purchase of any
thing. from a cent cake of soap I'D to
the most expensive advertised article.
To-day" said Mr. Sullivan. " the
housewife sends her little child to
make purchases at the corner grocery.
She sends her with perfect confidence
that. even though a child. she cannot
err therein. All that the child needs
is explicit instructions to buy this or
that. In the case of all staple produce
the price is known. the quality is
Known and the name is known. There
l. practically nothing about the goods
that is unknown. And to be sure of
getting exactly what YOU want; il is
only necessary to name the goods.
IT IS the same in other stores of
nearly every kind.
W hat contrast to the days Of our
fathers. when practically all buying
" as hazard-impossble for the child
and risky even for the parents.
In those so-cailed good old DAYS
soap was just soap, prunes were lust
prunes. coffee WAS coffee-and so on
through the lorg list of things that
are used in every home
In no case was there any guarantee
OF dua.ity-or any sure way to identify
goods that might have proved salts
factory so that the same goods could
DC bought again The whole buying
game was Just game-a game and a
gamble; with all the odds against the
buyer.
Then grdualy. step by step came
he great change. The trade mark be-
gan to appear positive means OF
Identifying goods. And with the trade
mark came advertising on national
scale--the best. the surest. the cheap
est, the only efficient way of making
the merits of these goods known ~
buyers everywhere.
Irademarked merchandise was soon
found TO be good se-worthv
OF every buyers confidence.
IN fact trademarked articles have
got to be good. The trademark iden-
tines them. advert sing proclaims
them. and use by thousands and mil
mons make their qualities positively
known. Only first class merchandise
can dare to court such test
"ell-known trademark is an asset Of
priceless value for a good article. h,t
l. would be sure death for a moor ono
Tor In that case it would be not a
guarantee but warning to the buver
L would help him to identify the bad
as we'll as the good to avoid the one
and choose the other
The greatest achievement of mod
ern advertising is that for the first
tlme III the history Of the worlds NOR
cnandlslng, II protects the buyer: IL
makes buying both easy and safe. The
value of every trademark depends on
the good will Of the buyer. therefore
TINS trademark. which positively jden-
tines the goods. for better or for
worse. is the buyers sure and certain
