(From The Atlanta Constitution)
T1m? Walton, Q?? Tribune notes that
4'lhe time ban come when the people
aiv afraid of the unadver.tlsed pro
duct- -and they ought to be."
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.
The advertiser's faith in what he
has to offer creates faith In the buy
ing public; and the fact that lie is In
the advertising business every day
makes his name n household word and
establishes confidence all around.
*' 1 tried not to have .art talcs that I
could not advertise," says Mr. Wan- J
na maker.
lie had to believe in them to make
<?( hers believe.
And that is characteristic of every
merchant 'tint m-ikes go'?d In his com
munity. f<?r reputation . can be won or
1 1 - ? through advertising.
Women jurors in l)es Mollis, Iowa,
were granted concessions when the
judire allowed them to wear Imts and
powder their .faces during court ses
sion.
ho required by thi.s ordinance, thr said
Clerk and Treasurer shirt! report the
