‘SUPPOSE you came suddenly upon two roads. “One

straight, well trodden . . the other thin and twist-

‘ing off into undergrowth. If you didn’t want to ar-
_ rive any place i in particular, you might: choose the lat-

ter. But not otherwise.

Before you, as buyer, run two roads. One is the
_ road of knowledge, of an advertised product. Thous-
‘ands use it. There’s no mystery about it, no doubting

nothing hidden. It leads the way definitely to a floor

wax, a fountain pen, a tooth paste that will give satis-
faction. When you use an advertisement you use an.

open road.

When you don’t use an advertisement you go the

‘doubtful road. You have only hazy knowledge of the

product ahead. No trade mark or name to depend on

guides you, The result may or may not tbe worth the

effort. “You don’t known,

Read the advertisements. Anything’ widely ad-

_ vertised—breakfast food, syrup or a car —has* proved
itself good by advertising. | en

Advertsements put you on the
open road to satisfaction.
