Point, Vicks, Leonard, Maytag, Gossard, IYtko. How
many Americans don't know what at least (en of liu'st
twelve famous names stand for? You'd have a hard
time tinding oven one! For National Advertising his
made these brand names and hundreds like them al
most as familiar as the days of the week. We play
guessing games with their advertising slogans. We
recognize their trademarks everywhere, in a "hull
market'1 we usually rush to huy their stocks first on
the exchange. To millions, each of these nationally
advertised brands is "An Old Friend You Can Trust."
Why is this so\\hat gives these hundreds of brands
that mysterious, majrvelouss thing called "accept
ance?" Just the hare fact (hat you see them adver
tised? Or some deeper, more important reason?
Almost any housewife knows the answer! Dependa
bility; Nationally advertised brands are bought
everywhere and used everywhere. Each article that
you see advertised from coast to coast is competing
for favor with dozens of similar articles in millions of
households from New England to the Pacific Ocean.
Such 'national acceptance'™t he favor of millions up
on millions of buying Americans—is nothing to trifle
with. Nationally advertised merchandise has got to
be good—or else!
Again—the national advertiser has at his disposal the
greatest "proving ground" in the world! lie plans
prepares, perfects and improves his merchandise ac
cording to the wants and preferences of millions of
Americans-the "choosiest" market on earth! Hence
nationally advertised American merchandise is bet
ter, safer merchandise, a better value and without
peer any whore. It finds ready buyers in every land
and clime.
Finally-you'U find that nationally advertised brands
have "acceptance" in Hendersonville because mostof
the really important national advertisers advertise
at soms time in this NEWSPAPER! W h y? Because
the newspaper is the ONLY "advertising medium
(hat tells not only what to buy, but where to buy it
thus giving (he manufacturer quicker, less costly dis
tribution. Because this newspaper has already built
up a goodwill and an "acceptance" for the retail mer
chant—-himself, an advertiser—who must linally sen
the national advertiser's goods. AND LAS I l>^'
NOT LEAST, because this newspaper itself is "An
Old Friend You Can Trust," earning and commanding
the confidence that both the manufacturer and Ms
dealer must themselves have if they are to sell you a
dollar's worth of (heir merchandise!
