I-ook for our Trade Marks 

 C. H. Stephenson, Mfr. 40 Farrar St., Lynn, Mass. 



You know this trade-mark through National Periodical Advertising 



TRADE-MARKS are the 

 guides which enable the 

 purchaser to repeat 

 every satisfactory buying ex- 

 perience and to avoid the 

 repetition of every unsatisfac- 

 tory buying experience. 



National advertising is the 

 force which induces . a great 

 number of people to try a 

 product — so that the economy 

 of quantity production can be 

 attained if the product gets 

 general approval. 



The trade-mark is the thing 

 which identifies a maker so 

 that we can repeat — or avoid 

 repeating — the experience we 

 have with his goods. 



National advertising is the 

 thing which makes enough of 



us use a product so that it 

 can be produced economically 

 and can be sold to us at a 

 price much lower than the 

 manufacturer would have to 

 charge if he sold to only a 

 few. 



These are the reasons why 

 trade-marked, nationally ad- 

 vertised goods are so general- 

 ly the best goods of their 

 kinds and are sold at such 

 relatively low prices. 



Trade-marks and national ad- 

 vertising, working together, 

 are the two most valuable 

 public servants in business to- 

 day. Their whole tendency is 

 to raise qualities and stand- 

 ardize them, while reducing 

 prices and stabilizing them.
