T e lle NEW PRICES That 8 t Louts.— A claim of 20 cents against the Mullanpby bank was pre sented In Circuit Judge Kinney's court by Gottlieb KUng, who declared that the money had been due him since tbe bank went Into tbe hands of a receiver in 1895. United States Senator Stone, receiv er for the bank, was present to listen to claims presented in order to make a Anal settlement Three claimants appeared. They were Kllng, Mrs. Chris tina Meyer, who claimed $3.02, and Mrs. Mary Schwartz, who claimed $62.08. Of all the articles you buy how many are NOT advertis ed? The answer is, "Very few—probably none.” The following story will show why the majority of buyers insist upon having only advertised goods of merit: A young man in one of the large cities learned to make hominy. It was the old-fashioned kind—the best you ever tasted. He began to make it to sell in pint glass jars at fif teen cents. The young manufacturer first attempted to sell the lar gest grocer in the city and was rewarded by this sound ad vice: “ Suppose I buy a dozen cases of your hominy- It is a single transaction between two individuals, requiring only two minutes of my time. “ But the goods must be moved and there is no demand for your hominy. I can’t send my clerks to fifteen hundred customers or give ten minutes to every customer in the store to tell them about your hominy. Do some advertising in the daily newspapers—create a demand—and I will give you an order.” This advice was accepted. The advertising was started and within a month fifty grocers were selling “ Crescent Hominy.” People bought it because its goodness had been advertised. The leading grocer of Rockford, 111., declares that if he should elminate advertised brands and fill his shelves with private brands and other unadvertised goods he would re quire three times as many clerks to serve the same number of customers. Advertising has reduced the operating expences of the retailer and this helps keep prices DOWN. The retail business is built on advertising. The best .sellers in every line are advertised continuously, month after month. It is advertising that puts the goods on the shelves, and again it is advertising that moves the goods from the store to the home of the customer. You buy advertised goods because you know what you are getting. You know that the test of continuous advertis ing is the best possible guaranty of the quality of the goods. Advertising tells you where to buy what you want— when you want it. I ( Continued next Saturday. )
