McCaffery HI to 4 Record On Saturday last Iho Princess BETTER THAN RICHES T Tnder thej dome of the Board of Trade in Manchester, England, is this inscription: "A good name is rather to be chosen than rlchsi" The thought is considerably more than mere sentiment. It is good business. A good name is recognized as the biggest individual asset a business can have. It is the Very keystone of modern industry. Business today is done on such a broad scale every merchant and every manufacturer has such a long list of customers that it would not do to have a reputation for "slipping something over" Advertising has standardized almost every article you can buy. You don't have to bargain and dicker and haggle to know that you are getting as good as you give. That's why it pays to read the advertisements and to buy advertised goods. A product's advertising is the best guarantee of its faithful perform ance and lasting usefulness or of definite value. The adoertiser would nol dare risk his good name by ddoertisirig an unworthy product. If you value satisfaction if you want to get your full money's worth every time READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS and buy advertised merchandise.
