Purchase by the Federal Gov
ernment of 10000 square feet of
land at Eighteenth and D Streets
Northwest, for 100000, was re-
vealed today apparently as the
first step in the Northwest trian-
gle program Of Government build
ing.
At the same time, President
Roosevelt gave assurance that the
Federal Government undoubtedly
would go ahead with its plans for
new office buildings in the Dis
trict, but that none of the existing
structures would be demolished in
the next few years. Need for Of
flee space. he said. outweighs the
desire for beauty in architecture.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was un.
certain as to whether the War De
partment will get a new building,
but that If it does the structure
probably will rise along the Mall.
not on Pennsylvania Avenue. For
the time being, $2,000,000 appro.
priated for renovation of the
State, War and Navy Building
will not be spent.
The property purchased at
Eighteenth and D Streets is occu-
pied by the Frazee-Potomac Laun-
dry plant, which will be razed to
make way for the new Depart.
ment of Interior Building in 1885.

Charles Austin Bates, President of Charles Austin Bates, Inc, says:
 "How often have we bought the 'Just-as-good' thing-and how often has it been just as good? When it faded, or ripped, or didn't wear, or didn't work-what redress had we? After we fused with and cussed it (maybeJ and threw it away, we went and got a trade-marked, ad- vertised article, which is what we should have done in the first place.
 "A man doesn't put his name or his trademark on his product un- less he is proud of it. He is as jeal- our of it's reputation as he is of his own-just exactly. He guaran- tees it whether he says so or not. And if it does not give satisfaction he is more worried about it than we are. He should be worried because if enough of us are dissatisfied we can put him out of business.
 Every time he places his trade mark on an article and every time he spends a dollar to advertise it, he is buying insurance for you and me-insurance of quality, of serv- ice, of satisfaction.
 Do you realize that when the local merchant advertises trade marked article in his newspaper, you are getting a triple guarantee? The merchant, the maker and the publisher all have a part in it. Be- cause of this triple assurance, ad- vertised, trade-marked goods sell easily, quickly and in great quanti- ties. Quantity production makes low factory cost. Quick sales with out argument reduce the merch- ants cost of service to you. These savings are several times as great as the cost of the advertising, with out which they could not be realiz- ed
 Advertising is a business mach inc which reduces the cost of doing business and, like your sewing ma chine, pays for itself over and ov- CT again by the savings it makes possible.
