I PEOPLE LIKE TO KNOW
When they go to a store to trade, that they are going
S; get their money's worth.
When a tirni li is been in your vicinity as long as we g3
Z have, you know something about that firm. Don’t you? «
We have been here for years, and we expect to stay g3
►g right here. -3
We expect to make some profit, of course; that’s what g3
Eg we are here for; but we won't sell you one thing below cost ^3
Eg: and make it up on something else, g3
►2 People put a worm on a hook and call it a “bait.’ Some ^3
Eg dealers put merchandise on the hook and call it a “leader.” z£
A “leader'’ is a a biit, and a hait is a “leader.” 5
Eg Wo won't bait you on “leaders” and make you pay more zS
Z for other things in order to regain the profit lost on the 33
Eg “leader.” 22
*g Why go away from home to trade, when you can buy all g3
•g the goods you want right here, at reasonable prices? ~3
£g When you buy goods away from home you pay your g3
Eg; money and take your choice. 25
The othet follow gets your money, and if you don’t likft rgj
