To the one it is a continu ous spur and incentive—to the other, the strongest of all guarantees that what- he buys is worthy.” Patronize the manufacturer or merchant who has a reputa tion for honesty and fair dealing. Such motives must actuate the consistent advertiser in The Banner-Herald. The man who invests real money in building a reputation for himself and his merchandise cannot afford to risk any ci It by taking unfair advantage of his customers. He must retain the good will of the buying public. Without this, ‘his business cannot succeed. Every time he advertises in The Banner-Herald he puts his reputation in your hands. His products or the wares he has for sale must make good. ''His service must be advertised. That is why it pays to read Banner-Herald advertisements, to deal with Banner-Herald advertisers and to buy advertised goods.
