And it may b r added Jbat the adver tisement of tin- product in a d??pend nble uew#pap"r is one of its best re commendations. * It is to Judicious newspaj?er adver tising, with the guarantee of the goods to .back it up. that Johu Wannn maker, celebrating his sixtieth anni versary in business, attributes bin fttJaiU'ltll 81ICC0H*. Bpe&king of his early start in the business world he says "I found out after awhite that peo ple wore reading the ads to find out what I had to offer. Then I put in more prices and told what the woods were. I never advertised an article that I could not vouch for. and tried not to have articles that I could not advertise, I soon fouud the potency of keeping your name before the peo ple, but still more potent was tho Im pression that 1 was anxious to please aijd had tho goods to please with." Keeping the business before the poo | pie continually is one of the essential things, and that is the way big busi ness has 1 >eeu built up from small be ginning* everywhere, It has been the experience of successful business men the world over.
