The Housekeeper's
Story
Here are the exact words of
an experienced housekeeper:—
"The goods I buy continually are
those that are advertised widely
and attractively in my favorite
newspaper,
guarantee than 'continued adver
tising.' When I see goods per
-irtently advertised in a reliable
newspaper I am certain that
they are reliable—-for I know
that a firm Is not going to spend
large sums advertising a product
unless that product has merit."
This statement proves that it
is mighty poor policy for mer
chants to attempt to sell to good
customers any unknown,
advertised goods which are guar
anteed neither by the merchant
nor by the manufacturer.
