There are a number Of stock
dips today that are a failure
because the manufacturer thot
people wouldn't pay a little
more for a good dip, so they
are putting out an inferior dip
they think will sell on account
of the price instead Of quality.
Not so with Parke, Davis &
Co. They KNEW that a good
farmer and stock raiser would
pay more to get dip that is a
real dip. For that reason they
worked on Kreso Dip No. 1 un.

more-but-Capper's Weekly,

S. made a survey last year and
found that SO per cent OF ALL

WAS KRESO DIP NO. 1. Pretty

Make Your Product Just q
Little Better, Her Policy

The worlds champion mouse tran
maker would never be bothered with
hewing his own paths, even if he
lived in a forest, according to a phil
osopher.
And what is true of mouse traps
holds true with bird cages.
Once demonstrate to a few people
that you have a knack for making
the most beautiful ones ever imagin-
ed. and the world will find you out
though You have only tiny shop on
a side street in busy New York
This actually happened in the case
OF Adah Byers.
Though an artist, decorator, max
CT of 'jewely and connoisseur OF
beautiful things generally, she is
forced to make bird cages 10 the ex-
clusion OF practically anything else
just because she makes them a
little more exquisitely and painsiak-
ingly than anyone else does.
Her cages are all hand made, ac-
cording TO her exclusive designs, wit!
an idea of making the bird comfort
able as we'll as affor,ling bit OF
decoration to the sun-room or gar
den.
She sometimes expends as much
as months work on single cage,
and when she finishes she has sore
thing that resembles piece Of jew
elry rather than anything so utilita-
rian as bird house.

AT best there can be no turnover
on such articles comparable to the
turnover OF well known articles Of
established consumer acceptance. on
which, it is very true, thousands and
thousands of dollars are being spent
annually to create demand and send
customers into the store to ask for
them. Practically any business can
be operated ION a large scale, in pro-
portion, at smaller cost than can
smaller enterprise. Nationally nd
vertised articles turn so much faster
without demanding long selling talks
from the retailer, that the retailer
who capitalizes the large amount
spent to popularize them and keen
them before the public, is bound to
make more profit out of them than it
Is possible for him to make out OF
non-advertised articles. NV ex-
pericnce is that nationally adver-
tlsed goods, goods that have beenpop-
ularizcd by extensive advertising,
goods that the public know about
and know are up to standard, even
