In the business world, we want certified food, cer tified clothes, certified receipts, certified mail, and sometimes cer tified checks. Modern advertising and false advertising have conditioned us to watch for the trademark, the label and take no substitute. Why even young people want certified things. Have I a witness here? They don’t want just jeans, they want Jordache jeans, Calvin Klein jeans. They don’t want just a shirt, they want a John Henry shirt an Arrow shirt. They don’t want just shoes, they want Florsheim shoes, Stacy Adam shoes. They don’t want just a tape recorder, they want a Sony tape recorder, Panasonic, JVC tape recorder. Am I right about it? Ladies don’t want any kind of dress, they want Devon, R.R. Russ, Lillie Ann. They don’t want any cosmetics, they want Estee Lauder, Helen Rubenstein wit * ▼jib • o / SB / »» Rev. N. T.

Why some of us will go from store to store, from mall to mall looking for certified labels. We will order certified labels and wait months to get them. Have I a witness? Certified labels are important in the supermarket. A box of Kellogg’s cereal should not turn out to be rat poison. A bottle of salad dressign should not turn out to be liquid detergent. A bottle of Coco-Cola should not turn out to be bleach, or hamburger turn out to be horse meat. This would be utter chaos, sickness, death and many lawsuits.
