Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What Is the use of making n better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a bolter price for It?
Ans. As thote is no difference In
the price the public will buy only
the better, fo that while our profits
may bo smaller on ,a single sale they
will be much greater In the aggre
gate. How can you get the public to know
your make Is t.'ie best?
If both articles are brought promin
ently before the public both are cer
tain to be tried and tho public will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explalns tho largo sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Itemedy. The
peoplo have been using It for years
and found that It can always bo de
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novel
ty put forth with exaggerated claims,
but aro certain to return to the one
remedy that they know to bo re
liable, and for coughs, colds nnd croup
there is nothing equal to Chamber
lain's Cough Homedy. For salo by
all druggists. Matthews Hros., whole
