You know these trade-marks through National Periodical Advertising

I WARM AIR GET7ERATOR| mm mmmmm 



THE traveling trader with 

 a pack on his back has 

 almost disappeared from 

 the business life of America. He 

 has no place in these times be- 

 cause the buying public does not 

 trust the man who is gone as 

 soon as a sale is made. We 

 buy of established dealers be- 

 cause they are responsible and 

 we know where to find them. 



The loss of the peddler is a 

 gain in commercial civilization. 



And the same public senti- 

 ment which is making way with 

 the trader and his shoddy pack 

 results in an enormous increase 

 in the demand for — and the 

 sale of — trade-marked, nation- 

 ally advertised goods. 



Both movements are backed 

 by the public's insistence on 

 greater responsibility of the seller 



for the quality of all articles 

 purchased. 



No greater responsibility can 

 be secured than that which is 

 furnished by the combined re- 

 sources of the dealer and the 

 manufacturer who sell branded, 

 nationally advertised goods. 



You hold the dealer responsi- 

 ble — and the dealer is willing 

 to be responsible because he 

 knows he is backed by the 

 man who has thought enough 

 of his product to put his brand 

 on it and has made that brand 

 widely known. 



Trade-marks and national 

 advertising are the two greatest 

 public servants in business to- 

 day. Their whole tendency 

 is to raise qualities and stand- 

 ardize them, while reducing 

 prices and stabilizing them.
