Ask your druggist for 1 Div pier;es Discovery It's got to be good to be ADVERTISED All the king's horses . . . and all the king's men can't '. make a. success out of a bad product. No amount of ; advertising wiU create a market for iti The more it's advertised, the more its defects become known. -. But a good product well advertised grows as swiftly i and naturally as a healthy plant. People try it and like it. They tell others. They like it, Soon; that . product is ; found everywhere . . . and its name, spread abroad by 1 advertising, is on every tongue, . When you see something widely and consistently advertised, you can be pretty sure it's well worth hav ing. If it weren't ... if it didn't represent an honest and worthy value . . . the maker couldn't afford to advertise it. Look over the advertisements in this paper. Some : of these names you know. Others perhaps. are new . comers, potential friends bringing some new comfort ox; convenience. But all are entitled to your trust '. . . all are here becatfse they have something real to con tribute, to your advantage . . .. your service . . . your happiness.
