Cut Prices
Cut prices arc alluring only on goods of known
value.
Without "the previous establishment of stand
ards, cut prices would not be seductive.
An excessive cut price on advertised goods of
known value is a bait. ,
A very wise and cynical fish would swallow the
bait but avoid the hook because, of course, there
is a hook.
When a dealer sells for less than cost it is not for
love that he docs it.
If gold were without value there would be no
thieves.
If advertising hadnot established for an article
a wide-spread public recognition of standard value,
there would be no bait in a "ruinous cut price."
Advertising space in the nntlcrick publications
is foj' sale through accredited advertising agencies.

Cost Less
The first cost of Stewart Trucks is $300 to
$700 less than the average price of other trucks;
still the quality is there built in by experienced
truckmakers, who build trucks exclusively, all
trucks from the ground up.
Simplified design eliminates hundreds of
needless parts, hundreds of pounds of dead weight
which saves on. tires, gasoline, repairs and oil.
