Dr. H. H. Rusby, of Columbia Uni- 
versity, says of tests he made with Radi- 
um Brand Fertilizer (R. A. F.): “These 
tests also demonstrated that the quality 
of Radium-grown vegetables was much 
better than the quality of vegetables 
grown in untreated ground.” 
It also wonderfully im- 
proves the bloom of flowers.

TRAOE MARK Re<J. U.S. PAT. OFF

You know this trade-mark through National Periodical Advertising 
T HE ultimate value 
of a trade-mark, 
and of the advertising 
of a trade-mark, depend 
absolutely upon the 
merit of the goods 
which bear the trade- 
mark. Therefore you 
may depend upon it 
that when a manufac- 
turer brands his goods, 
thereby identifying 
them, and then adver- 
tises their identity, he 
is going to put merit 
into them. He knows 
that if he doesn’t, his 
first sales will be his 
last. The consumer 
may buy the first time 
on advertising, but he 
buys the next time on 
satisfaction or not at all. 
The trade-mark makes 
it as easy to avoid the 
unsatisfactory as to re- 
purchase the satisfac- 
tory. T herefore the 
presumption of ex- 
cellence is always in 
favor of the trade- 
marked, nationally ad- 
vertised goods as against 
the unbranded article 
of uncertain origin. 
The trade-mark of the 
known, established manu- 
facturer is for your pro- 
tection as well as his. In 
fact it is only because the 
trade-mark protects you 
that it is profitable to him. 
Trade-marks and national 
advertising are the two 
greatest public servants in 
business today. Their 
whole tendency is to raise 
qualities and standardize 
them, while reducing 
prices and stabilizing them.
