You can Depend on the
Man Who Advertises

Nine times Out of ten you will find that the man
who advertises is the man who most willingly
returns your money if you are not satisfied.
He has too much at stake to risk losing your
trade or your confidence. You can depend on
him.
He is not in business for today or tomorrow only
but for next year and ten years from next
year. He knows the value of good will.
You get better merchandise at a fairer price
than he cold ever hope to sell if he did not have
the larger volume of business that comes from
legitimate advertising and goods that bear out
the promise of the printed word.
Don't miss the advertisements. This very day
they call your attention to values that tomorrow
you will be sorry you overlooked.
