I go tq the store rhyself. To me this work is not irksome. In fact, I like it. I like to look at the shelves so full of cans and packages of so many colors. I like to do this for the same reason that I don’t mind being in a crowd. When in a crowd I look for familiar faces. When I see them I am delighted. When I am in a store I ldok for famil iar goods and when I see them I buy. Those goods have become familiar to me through advertising and I have no 7 ticed that the grocery men who have luo most of those familiar packages somehow or other seem to always go uhead. • i went into a store not of my own dioosing but with a friend who, among other things, asked for a very well ,'„iown article of food which is packed i a can, although she did not ask for Any specfic kina. I always buy and instinctively I told her that was the kind she should ask for. The dealer overheard me and said, “Madam, I never sell that article. I sell instead something very much better ...... my own brand.” Then he launched into a five-minute talk on why this article was better than the one I had named. But some how my friend had been convinced by what I had suggested and she did not buy the can which the grocer offered. And I thought as 1 walked out how vubborn and obstinate that man was. B had lost a sale, had probably taken buy and which I always buy I know have been submitted to the criticism of both competitor and consumer. Thi subjection to almost world-wide criti cal examination demonstrates to mo that the manufacturer has supreme confidence in his goods. He cannot tell a falsehood about the things he makes, because there are too many in the world to find him out. Constant advertising of any product proves.that product has stood the test of scrutiny. Is it any wonder then why I, as one of several million women in my same position, prefer articles with which I am acquainted to products about which I 'have no knowledge and about whiqh the manufacturer docs not seem to have the courage to en lighten me? his first step toward losing a customer, and had certainly lost a good deal of time, especially since some other peo ple were standing around waiting to be waited on. If that grocer had sold advertised goods he would certainly have had the brand I suggested and he would have •made a sale; incidentally, he would have bid us good day cheerily and he and we would have been satisfied. Familiar faces are wonderful. To me, in my capacity as a buyer for a fairly large household, familiar things on the shelves of 'the stores I visit arc only a little less wonderful, for those familiar things help me in doing better and more economically the job which I must work at every day. Those advertised articles which I Published by The Banner-Herald in co-operation with ' erici The American Association of Advertising Agencies. Hi!** Justice Richard D.

By the end of 1818 the Dutch East Indies Government had grant* ed sixty concessions for the am ploltatlon of petroleum in the la* lands.
