Ideas like products start in
the humblest of ways. Partic-
ularly great ideas. But it takes
more than an original genius
to make these ideas grow into
something big. It takes the lively
competition among nationally advertised brand
names. The kind that has changed the sound of
music to what it is today. \
Brand names are what manufacturers call their
products. They put their names right on the package
so you can see who they are. They work hard to make
these products better. Offer brighter developments.
Innovations. Consistent quality. This is how they try
to outdo other brands. And they let you know about
these improvements through advertising. But if they
don’t live up to these claims it’s good-bye to their
reputations. That’s how competition works.
Nationally advertised brands are what we take
for granted.
But we’d soon know the difference if they weren’t
around.
When brand names compete, products get better.
