E SAFE AtJD EASY PflPEHS G1IICHE0IT 1 R ADEM ARKED AND ADVERTIS ED GOODS ARE THE SAFEST TO BUY ALWAYS Does the average person ever stop to think what a safe and easy thing buying has become in our day What a contrast to the way it used to be within the memory of most of us? This applies to all buying--rcf necessities, of luxuries, of everything. John Sullivan, secretary of the As sociation of National Adyertisera, in a recent interview said some things on this subject which should interest every buyer in the world. His words apply to the purchase of anything, from a five cent cake of soap up to the most expensive advertised article. Today, said Mr. Sullivan, the house wife sends her little child to make purchases at the corner grocery. She sends her with perfect confidence that, even though a child, she canot err therein. All that a child needs is explicit instructions to buy this or that In the case of all staple produce the price is known, the quality is known adn the name is known. There is practically nothing about gods that is unknown. And to be sure of getting exactly what you want, it is only necessary to name the goods. It is the same in other stores of nearly every kind. What a contrast to the days of our fathers, when practically all buying was, a hazard impossible for the child and risky even for the parents! In those so-called "good old days," soap Was just soap, prunes were just prunes, coffee was coffee and so on through the long list of things that are used in every home. In no case was there any guaran tee of quality or any sure way to identify goods that might have proved satisfactory so that the same goods could be- bought again. The whole buying gam ewas just a game a game and a gamble; with all the adds against the buyer. Then gradually, step by step, came tho great change. The trademark began to appear a positive means of identifying goods. And with the trademark came ad vertising on a national scale the best the surest, the cheapest the only efficient way of making the merits of these goods known to buyers every where. ' - ' ' v Trademarked merchandise Was soon found to be merchandise worthy of every buyer s confidence. In fact trademarked articles have got to be good. The trademark identifies them, ad vertisemg proclaims them, and use by thousands and millions make their qualities positively known. Only first class merchandise can dare to court such a test A well-known trfIemark is an as set of priceless valae for a good ar tide but it would be sure death for a poor one, for in that case it would be not a guarantee but a warning to the buer. It would help him identify the bad as well as the good; to avoid the one and chose the other. The greatest achievement of modern advertising is that for the first time in the history of the world s mer chandising it protects the buyer; it makes buying both easy and safe. The value of every trademark de pends on the good will of the buyer, therefore this trademark, which posi tively identifies the goods, for bet ter or for worse, is the buyer's sure and certain guarantee. Fourth Es tate. , ' Survivor of Submarine ' Herman L. Dupree, twenty years of age. from Birmingham, Alabama, walked aboard the U. S. S. Recruit in Union Square at five o'clock Tuesday afternoon and said he wanted to en list in the United .States navy While he was being examined by Surgeon J. J. Kaveney he causally remarked that he had, the experience of submarine gun fire during the past summer. Du pree had shipped from Portland, Maine last June on the .Norwegian tanker, "Kingsli" bound for Rotter dam. On the return trip in the third week of August, out four days, from the coast of Rotterdam at five-thiry in the morning three shots were sent across the bow of the tanker. Dupree said: ' ' ; ; "I was on watch on the hurricane deck. The weather was clear and calm. No warning was given except the three shots. Twenty more were fired and in ten minutes we were sunk. Tho crew of 28 took to' the three boats and immediately the sub marine aroso and came within fifty yards of us. This was the conversa tion of the captain of the submarine had with our skipper. It was all in English with no trace of German ac cent " . 'How long have you had t this sh ipT' said tne submarine captain. A year and a half answered our skinner. "'Where was she built?' he asked. 1 " 'Baltimore was the reply, "What kind of a crew have you?' " 'Mixed Danish, Swedes and Nor wegians "'Any Americans?' '"None According to Dupree the captainjof tho tanker asked for a tow and he was told that an English cruiser would be along in the morning. The next day the cruiser came along but paid no attention to the men, it being a rule of the British Admiralty not to pick up life boats. After flound ering in the rough sea with no ra tions but a few biscuits and very lit tle water the men finally landed at St Nazares, France. Dupree has been three years at sea having shipped from Norfolk, Vir- frinia. Ho was educated in the pub ic schools at Birmingham. He was sent to the training station at New port It is better to have a little sense all the time than so much in bunches that you can't use. Labor is the only prayer that la ever answered.
