The advertiser has right to all the
patronage of every consumer in the
community. The fact that he does
advertise is guarantee to you that he
has confidence in the merits of the
goods he advertises, also he would call
for public inspection of them. What
right has the non-advertising mer-
chant to even a part of your patron
age? He can give nothing, but ex-
poets to sell you his goods at large
profit, while failing and refusing to
in any way support local institutions
on which your own welfare is largely
dependent.
