He continued to advertise in the
newspaper. His business continued
to grow. He couldn't know all his
customers by name now, of course,
but they felt that they could buy
from him with confidence because
he had been recommended to them
by another friend whom they had
always trusted.
This other friend who recommend
ed John Slattery was the newspaper
which carried his advertising.
Whatever you read in the news
paper you naturally feel you can be-
heve, because you know that repu-
table newspaper will not accept ad-
vertising from any but honest and
reliable concerns.
Because this young man starting
In business made use of that aid he
built his business. AS his business
grew he was able to give his Gus
toners better service and more for
their money.
Although few of the persons read
Ing his advertisements and becom-
ing his customers realized 1t, they
were all indebted to the newspaper
for its service in bringing to their
attention an opportunity of getting
more for their money by publishing
advertisements Of this enterprising
young man.
Advertising is serving us in this
same way every day, by bringing
information Of where we can buy
most advantageously, by helping us
to find what we want at the lowest
possible prices.

Others felt the same way. His busi-
