plan whereby his formula may be
given a careful try-out.
The Porto Rican's formula. which
Is said to be an emulsion. has been
used with miraculous results upon
sixteen sdvanced tuberculars on the
island
Early in 1916 Giminez called the
attention of DR.. Ramon Luis Rode
riguez, a we'll known physician. to
his medicine and asked his permits
sion to use 1t on a few Of his con-
consumptive patients. After con-
siderable argument DR.. Roderiguez
consented. declaring, however. that
he expected no results whatsoever.
According to the San Juan Times
of July 16. 1916. all the patients
treated with Giminez's formula re-
covered rapidly. and showed no
signs of a relapse. The Bayomon
branch of the Porto Rican American
Tobacco Company, and the LORNA
Masonic Lodge. agreed to help him
financially and have done so up to
the present time enabling him to
prepare his elixir and give 1t to
sufferers free.
Don Giminez, according to friends
in the city, will go to a New York
sanitarium Immediately after his
conference her and make arrange
ments for the use of his discovery
there.
His medicine is the elimination
OF more than seven years of inten-
i've investigation and study. and
represents tho climax of more than
thirty years of close association
with the disease. Don Giminez is 50
years old.

: The statistics. which cover "a

live to the age of 55. while females
may expect to remain here seven
years longer.
According to the announcement.

After the Showdown

The great buyers strike" of l920-2l.
a never-to-be-forgotten event in the eco
nomic history of this country. proved
point which must henceforth be recognized
as basic and incontrovertble.
1t was discovered by merchants and
jobbers everywhere. in practically every
line of merchandise. that it was the trade
marked and adequately advertised brands
of goods that got the lions share of the
business there was to get, while the pre-
ponderant loss Of sales fell on the un-
branded and unadvertised goods.
This was a great showdown" for Ad-
vertising. Its position as factor in eco
nomic life was on trial. Had it really done
what had always been claimed for it Had
it created consumer preference that would
hold against the keen competition of
sacrifice price on unmarked goods?
The verdict of the buying public was
unqualified. 1t was not straw vote to
determine popularity. 1t was the final test
of willingness to buy. The ballots were
dollars. And the preponderant majority
voted with their dollars that they preferred
to keep right on buying advertised goods
With the whole country on a reduced
schedule of production and sales, the fac
tories that were able to keep on producing.
in anything like normal quantities. were in
variably those making trademarked and
nationally advertised goods.
The Washington herald., 1922-08-08

All over the country today manufac-
turers, jobbers, and merchants are giving
serious consideration to this important and
conspicuously demonstrated fact: the pub
lie prefer to buy nationally advertised
brands of merchandise And public de-
mand is the last word in all economic situ-
ations. No one can go against it and long
endure.
This will mean. then. that more and
more manufacturers will seek out ways to
make their products worthy of a distinctive
trademark and sustained plan of adver-
tising. 1t will mean that merchants viii
more and more give preference in their
stocks to advertised brands. II will mean
that the jobbers will more and more ar
range to supply the merchant with adver-
tised brands.
But new advertisers, manufacturers who
are finally convinced that their future lies
in the direction of an advertised product,
will discover that the magic power of ad-
vertising cannot be applied overnight. 1t
may require sustained effort to attain a
position of equality with competitors who
have been advertising for many years.
This will be an unwelcome discovery. But
it will be found to be the truth, and will
be their only hope of gaining substantial
foothold in what. from now on, must con-
tinue to be more keenly competitive mar
ket than we have known for a generation.

Ripping Rhymes
KEEPING HIS WORD
BY Walt Mason

links Jinkens always kept his words
throughout his useful years, and when
his funeral occurred the town was wet
with tears. We'd planted bards at
sundry times, and famous statesmen,
too, and plutocrats whose stock OF
dimes was something fierce to view;
and while we grieved to note their
doom, and see their projects bust, we
only wept around each tomb enough to
lay the dust. For gifted gents and
famous gents and gents with gorgeous
rolls are commoner than twenty cents,
and oft have tawdry souls. But when
you meet that human bird with sun
shine on his brow, who never goes
back on his word, take off your hat
and bow. He says he'll pay you what
he owes when clocks are striking
eight, and though through storm and
fire he goes, he'll promptly keep the
date. No promise lightly leaves his
lips, but when his pledge is made, he
never fails, he never slips, his word
must never fade. He's an example to
the town, landmark good to see; and
when at last we1ay him down beneath
churchyard tree, the brIny tears in
streamlets roll like waters in a rill,
and in the town there is a hole it will
be hard to fill
