EVERY industry has certain members whose idea of doing business is not how good but how Cheap. These men will produce merchandise and try to offer it on the tame terms as standard merchandise. They can't possibly succeed, Of course, so they end by cutting prices Mind selling for less. We have a name for fliese off brands: .^wildcats'1 is what We call them. You can usually (nd wildcat merchandise on the bargain counters, soiled and battered from a great deal of han dling, and offered at *3 for 10" or some 'Sther distress price; anything to get jjfid of it. V Some merchants there are who J. |eal in wildcats exclusively* but you have never heard of a customer who was satisfied to buy them exclusive- • ~ The one thing which gives as cusfuir. trs protection is a name we Atan trust, a brand upon which we jfu depend. We all learn that "we -Jtan get this protection in one way I'fnly--by buying advertised products (•'•'from merchants who advertise. When a merchant advertises he lnust be sure of his quality, because K be ever lets a customer down the Charles Roth customer won't come back. But if a man doesn't advertise, he depends upon snagging a customer here and there from the passing stream, cheating and never caring whether he sees him again or not. The man who advertises knows that he must have quality before anything else and then that he must maintain that quality above anything else. What this means to you as a customer is that you get more for your money every time you buy advertised goods. If you want to make sure that every dollar you spend will contain at l£ast 100 cents' worth of value the way is clear: simply buy advertised goods from the merchant who advertises. The advertising has invested those goods with a value which nothing ban displace. Both the man who makes advertised goods and the man who sells them have assumed the responsibility of establishing and maintaining their quality. None of us enjoys the feeling of being cheated or disappointed when we buy, and there is a way to avoid that feeling for ail time: merely, whenever you buy, buy the goods you find advertised in your newspaper. • There is no disappointment for the man or woman who, in all of his or her buying, follows this rule. Consult advertising before you buy. 0 Charlas B. Roth.
