One often reads this promise in mail order
literature. IT'S seldom that one ever gets
glimpse of the boy or girl who wrote the
particular bit of copy. With the compiler
of the mail order catalog, tbs all in the days
work. With the man who says it to your
face, it means something, for he knows that
if he doesn't make good you'll come back, and
he knows that if he does make good you're
most likely to come back, and It's the lat
ter contingency that he's counting on.
For the man who does business with you,
face to face, has to rely upon come back or

you're his advertiser and his mail order cata-

right" then your neighbor thinks Of Jones
the next time he comes to town, figuring on

But if you say: "Be dad, that Jones teller,

can never expect to repair the damage that's
