Truth Creates Confidence in
Advertising.
A modcen business concern
with its wide-awake eyes on
the balance sheet cmnot over-
look the f.iet that advertising
pays big dividends. Printers'
ink, distributed through the
columns of the local paper, is
the best advertising medium,
and no merchant can climb
the ladder of success without
it. Truth in advertising is
manifestly essential. It cre-
ates confidence, and confidence
is the first requisite for secur-
ing buyers. Honesty creates
good will. The good will of
the purchaser is both desira-
ble and necessary in success-
ful selling.
Successful selling consists
not only of furnishing the
baver with the commodity he
desires. It is the least of the
service he performs in selling.
The manner in which the ar-
ticle is transferred to the pur-
chaser, the courtesy, kiuduess
and decency with which the
transaction is made is su-
premely important. This is
the policy of the advertisers
of this paper.
