To make up for the nbsencc of the regularly listed employes, two extra cleiks have been put on the payroll.

Caveat Emptor is the opposite of Good Will. With Good Will the buyer believes in and depends upon the fine old trade mark of fine old houscD. Caveat Emptor means let the buyer beware. In these days there is no longer safety in known labels because liquor is contraband. Who goes in fear trusting no label, no brand, no seal, no mark, even if blown in the bottle, think what it would mean if all Good Will for every known commodity were destroyed and we had left only Caveat Emptor. Thanks be, this is only an illustration. The earning of Good Will is the big thing in big business today. National Advertising is an engagement en tered into by the manufacturer to safeguard the interests of the consumer in consideration of the creation of a Good Will asset.
