^^ARKNESS is their stock in trade.
They work by stealth—unheard and unseen—
their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s hon- •
est folks that seek the light. They are the
only ones who can risk it.
It’s the same way in business. The mer
chant who is not sure of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten
the end of his business career—put him to a
test he could not meet.
The merchant who advertises, deliberately
invites your inspection. He tells you about his
product and then lets it stand on its own
merits. YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM. HE
KNOWS HIS PRODUCT IS GOOD.
That’s one reason why it pays you to read
the advertisements. It is through advertising
that you are able to keep in touch with the
good things that progressive business men are
handling tor your benefit and convenience.
Advertisements throw a powerful light
on the very things that concern you most.
