Burglars Don't Seek
the Limelight

Darkness is their stock in trade They work by
stealth - unheard and unseen - their movements
coaked in secrecy. It's honest folks that seek the
light. They are the only ones who can risk it.
It's the same way in business. The manufactures
or the merchant who is not of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten the end
of his business career-put him to test he could not
meet
The man who advertises deliberately invites your
inspection He tells you about his product or his mer
chandse and ten lets it stand it's own merits You
can depend on him. He knows his product is good.
That's one reason why it pays you to read the ad-
vertsements you find in the columns of this paper
1t is through advertising that you able to keep in
touch with the good things that progressive business
men are spending their money to introduce and to
keep before you.
Advertisements are interesting, instructive and
rrofitabe They throw wonderful light on the very
things that concern you most. Read them.
