I This is an age of advertising, and j everyone is familiar with the popu- j ~ lar saying, "It pays to advertise." i Advertising is a business force. So j potent is the charm ca3t by its spell jit has been known to perform mar"'velous feats and to accomplish phe- j nominal results. It cannot be truly ^.said, however, that everyone who advertises succeeds, for unless full value underlays the article advertised, the advertising would ultimately fall of its own weight. In this JI connection we must not forget the s words of the immortal Lincoln, who j said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people.some of the time, "jbut you cannot fool all of the people i all of the time." So if there is not ^jbheind every advertisement a dollars' arid cents value to the article adver-1 - 1 1 tised, no amount of advertising will j j stimulate the sale on such an article'j J beyond a certain point. This applies ' Jto every line of business, and the [ modern business man or firm can j only succeed through honest adver-l tising and fair dealing. Hot air will put up a balloon, but! ' it won't keep it there. So, when the1 manufacturers of Tanlac placed it j r on the market something over 2 years ago, they did so with the firm; conviction that they were offering toi |!the people tht best and purest pro- j jduct of its kind on thi American! ! market today. They 'aid not hesi-j Jtate, therefore, to expend vast sums for advertising, because they knewj jthat the more the people heard about' _ j Tanlac the more they would buy it. j" ,'The success the preparation achieved; Ifirnc. immo/ligto onri npftnlp eVPTV-' ! j noa UI.WVUW.V, I j: - - ?* j ;jwhere were quick to recognize its: (genuine merit.

Actual ! facts and figures have been stated | land stated in a businesslike way in J la manner that has commanded confi-j dence in the conseravtive claims set, forth. Underlying these claims there; has been real value, not from a dol-; j'lars and cents point alone, but from health as well. And that's just where , I Tanlac has scored.
