The Principal of
Protection

The political question of protec-
tion has been debated on the hust-
ings and in the forum for many
years.
on one form of protection there
is pretty general agreement
among the informed.
Advertising done right affords
protection to the consumer.
When you are not certain what
to buy select the item that has
stood UP for some time under the
glare of publicity.
When not sure where to buy,
go to the store that is advertising
and growing. That store Is de

Such institutions are to be found
constantly in the columns of The

business shows the combination
is right.
