You know this trade-mark through National Periodical Advertising 



Trade-marks and national advertising are the 

 two most valuable public servants in business 

 today. Their whole tendency is to raise qualities 

 and standardize them, while reducing prices and 

 stabilizing them. 



When a manufacturer puts his brand on a line 

 of goods he knows that the sale of every single 

 article under that brand will react upon his future 

 business, the reaction being good or bad according 

 as the article is good or bad. If the article is 

 uniformly good the reaction will be uniformly 

 good and his business will prosper. 



Biscuits 



National advertising gains for a manufacturer 

 the volume which is necessary for economical pro- 

 duction and reduces his selling cost to the lowest 

 possible level — so that he can deliver to you a 

 good article, of certain quality, and at a price 

 which would not be possible without national 

 advertising. 



These are the chief reasons why you, for your 

 own sake, always should give preference to goods 

 that bear the maker's brand and are nationally 

 advertised. It is the safe and economical thing 

 to do.
