YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING It’s one thing to say we’ll do a thing—it’s quite another thing to do it. Changing tooth pastes, for example. Many of us see the PEBECO advertisements, believe their simple explanation of Pebeco’s extra value. Many of us hear our friends tell of the real mouth exhilaration and comfort Pebeco gives ... and then we put off buying it. Remember this: You’ll never know what you’re missing until you try Pebeco —and the trial costs mighty little. Delay no longer.—Adit.
