Merchandise Sold Under a Money Back Guarantee Must Possess Real Merit. Money talks. The housewife should listen only to the claims of manufacturers who back their assertions with a money back guarantee. I have found in my years of Domestic Science work that manufacturers of meritorious products employ the money-back-if-not-satisfied policy of merchandising. Such manufacturers are deserving of housewives’patronage —and usually get it. *** No matter how good a manufacturer may say his product is —if he lacks courage to offer a refund of purchase price, if buyer is not satisfied he displays a lack of faith in his goods. In such instances the purchaser assumes all risk'" and there is Always risk, when the maker of merchandise refuses to stand by his goods with a money back guarantee. To make this point clear— consider the advertising of a certain brand of baking powder. The producers of this baking powder abolish the uncertainty of buyers getting full tnoney*b worth as every can is sold under a clear cut guarantee of money-back-if-not-satisfied with bake day results. i Their advertisements state that their product is superior—they say that it is unfailing in.results —pure in the can and in the food and that it produces absolutely pure and wholesome bakings. Furthermore they assert that “You save when you bujr it —and you save . when you use it,” The phrase is so familiar to the housewife, every one no doubt will recognize it as taken from a Calumet Baking Powder advertisement. But to get back to my subject —the importance of those printed words lies in the fact that the Calumet Baking Powder Co. put die proof before the housewife with positive bake’day results. They invite her to buy Calumet on a money back trial basis. They demonstrate dependability with bake day results. They show her actual •Ravings in real money. I have tested Calumet Baking Powder. The tests I conducted were far more exacting than could be fnade by the housewife arid those tests have proved the truth of the Calumet Baking Powder Co.’s contentions. No housewife can afford to refuse so liberal a proposition. All should give Calpmet a trial and millions have done so. That it makes good ift advertised ’ promises is shown in the fact that housewives who put it to a test continue to use it NOTE—Miss Costello is already well known to most cftheladieS of our city.
