You know them. And you can buy j them with confidence —sure of honest value for your money. For they have stood the test of public scrutiny, they have been advertised and found worthy. For advertising, after all, is atest —a trial by the fire of public approval. Today no manufacturer would start advertising his products unless he knew they were sound and good. And if errors did creep in, he would be quick tu correct them, for to hold business he must uphold the confidence advertising has created among millions of people for his wares. Advertising brings protection to the consumer. It guarantees honest value. It sends quality up. The manufacturer who advertises builds up such a | volume of sales that he gives far more in both qual- g ity and quantity than the non-advertiser can poss- | iblv do. b I Seek out your friends —the advertised products. Favor thctdealer who handles them. Look for them on the shelves. Watch for them in the show win- I dows. They are the hallmarks of a good business house. They are negotiable guarantees of va’.ue. They are friends you can trust. Advertised products are sometimes not the cheapest you can buy; hut they are always the cheapest to own. Decatur Daily Democrat —•
