A Sales Campaign to Be Permanently Successful 

 Must Have Goods of Merit Behind It 



That is wliy our sales cost lias Hcen reiluced to tlic alj.-iolule mitiiniuin — because 

 \vc have the logs, because we won't save manufacturing cost at the expense of 

 quality and because we go out of our way to so impress a man on his first order 

 that he will want to come back again and again for our stock. 

 Our most valuable sales literature is a batch of letters from practical woodwork- 

 ers who show with specific figures where they have saved money in working 

 our gum. 



If you really want to save you will spend a two-cent stamp to get this infor- 

 mation which we will be delighted to send.
