L
est advertising hurts the adver-
tiser far more than it does the
buyer of the goods advertised.
This'fact is easy to under-
stand. A person may be dishon-
est in a quiet sneaky way, for a
long time and never actually be
caught at it. But an adwertise-
ment is a combination agree-
ment and guarantee.
A merchant or manufacture’
inserts an advertisement in a
paper. That advertisement car-
ries certain claims for the goods
mentioned. To speak such state
ments and claims is one thing:
but to print them, and sign your
name to them and to send this
out for everyone to road, is giv-
ng the public a guarantee.
That’s why t will pay you to
read advertisements and buy ad-
vert iked goods. Every advertise-
ment s your guarantee of value.

thing to make you think, a real
lesson to "Knockers” and those
who listen to them, to the "let
George do it" type of citizens,
to the fellow who doesn’t pay
his dues, or never has time to
attend a meeting or who be-
lieves he is justified in-making
a living out of a town wthout
giving a single thing In return.
The prosperous towns of this
country are the ones in which
there is a strong "Our Home

merchants, banks, business and
professional men, have "Vision"
and are working for thelr’town,
as well as for themselves.
