YOU have had the experience, haven't you, of going into some stores and asking for an advertised brand of goods, only to have the clerk hand you another brand and inform you, "But it's just as good." Sometimes, to your regret, you bought the "just as good" item but sometimes you walked out of the store and searched until you found the merchandise you had asked for in the first place. When you got it you were satisfied. You had confidence in the advertised goods, because you read in the honest pronouncements of the advertiser what you might expect his product to do for you. This gave you assurance* You bought because you had confidence. " But when that clerk palmed off something different on you, you had misgivings, you had doubts, you had fears, you had lack of confidence. Maybe they were justified. Mayhe they were not. It doesn't matter. The fact remains that advertising had invented the advertiser's goods with a confidence which made your buying a pleasant in place of a fearful duty.

In all cases, the whiskytreated rats died quicker. Some were given the liquor before being bitten, and some afterward, while others were given the liquor both before and after. None of these lived as long as the rats which had no liquor at all. Snake venom, physicians point out, weakens the heart and lowers the blood pressure; and liquor does the same thing--thus making matters worse rather than better. :•••• .. WNU Service. Read the Want Ads good--they are inferior and the merchant sells them because they carry more profit for him. He does his level best to get rid of them, because it is more to his advantage to do so than it is to yours. Many stores pay their salesman a commission for selling unknown and unadvertised goods, because the , salesman would not sell them without some special inducement. It is much better for" you as a consumer to put your reliance absolutely in advertised goods and in stores which advertise, and to patronize bt>th exclusively. When a man advertises his goods' and tells frankly and publicly what they will do for you, he seeks your; patronage on the basis' of actual value. It may be that some manufacturers or merchants can offer just as good value in unknown or unadvertised goods. But the chances aTe ten to one that they can't--because advertising not only incre^es the distribution of goods, but at the same time increases the production^ so that advertised goods cost less to make; hence, gives more to the buyer. ; In the long ran you get more for your money when you buy advertised goods. You get more in actual value. And also get more in that intangible value, known as confidence. And confidence is one of the chief satisfactions of life. C Charles B. Ro*.
