What Is the use ot making i better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for if Ans As there Is no difference In tho price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be muih greater in tho aggre gate. How can ou get the public to know our make Is the best? If both articlea are brought piomln ently before tho public both ire cer tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass Judgment on thcni and use onl the better one. This explains the largo sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using It for years and found that it can always be de pended upon. They mav occasionally tpke up with some fashionable novel ty put forth with exaggerated claims, but arc certain to return to the one remedy that they know to bo re liable, and for coughs, colds and croup there Is nothing equal to Chamber lain's Cough Remedy.
