You Can Depend On
Advertised Products
Advertising is the most powerful searchlight known
to business. It focuses the attention of a. community
or a continent on a particular product. ,' It gives that
. product the advantages of a widespread test by the
: buying public. But it cannot persuade that public to
buy any article it has tested and found wanting.
Manufacturers and merchants know this. They know
also that advertising an unworthy product does only
one thing: it brings magnified attention to its defi
ciencies. Therefore, before they undertake extensive
consistent advertising, they make sure that their pro
duct is right. v
Consistent advertising is your best assurance of value
and worth. It is fair evidence that the advertiser is
offering a good product which has been thoroughly
tested and approved.
The advertisments in this newspaper have been
passed by the highest authority
The buying public.
