Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that it is the greatest!
beneficiary of advertising.
Advertising has done in a de
cade to establish certain standards In
werchandise than could have been ac
complished in a hundred years by any
other agency. The manufacturer who
a few years ago merely made and sold
clothes now makes and sells the Blank
brand of clothes. The man who for

Blank's hats. And so it is with every.
thing that one buys today. The manu
facturer, by his advertising, hax built
{ up his business around a trade name
and If he Is to continue In business
he must protect that trade name by
| maintaining such a high standard of
quality that people, when they buy his

Same Price World Over.
These facts are chiefly responsible
for the generally prevailing {dea that
the home merchants do not sell goods
as the mall order house
They do sell the same quality of
that the mall order house sells
cheaply as the mall order house sells
it but they cannot sell the glandard
products of responsible
manufacturers at the same price at
which the mall order house sells its
unbranded merchandise,
Standard goods bearing a registered
trade-mark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturer's
guarantee stands back of them when
they are sold In the smallest village
in the country just the same as when
they are sold in the stores of the larg:
est cities,
This is what the national acCvertis-
ing of the manufacturers has done
for the consumers of the country. It
has enabled them to go into thelr home
stores and buy merchandise which they
know from past experience or from
the reputation and guarantee of the
manufacturer will give them satisfac.
tion. They are not buying blindly
and hopefully when they buy from the
merchants in their home towns. The)
are buying with the knowledge that
they are getting their money's worth,
When they buy advertised brands they
are getting double protection, that
which is afforded by the responsibility
of the retail merchant and that which
is given by the reputation and guar-
antee of the manufacturer. When they
buy the unknown brands of goods
that are offered by the mall order
houses they are getting neither kind
of protection.
