All'-through life"we~gcTabout"~ ^searching for information. We make a new acquaintance; but before we accept him as '� a friend or invite him to our home we ask for facts about him.

"How is it made? what goes into it?''
"Is it worth the price charged for it?" FACTS�we are simply hungry for them. ,
Strange,:isn't it, that #e should so often have to SEARCH for them? Odd, that some manufacturers still WITHHOLD the facts about their product. Not always beqause they are facts to be ashamed of�for there are many worthy articles yet un-advertised.
But it will not be so much longer. The fact-hunger of the human race is becoming.keener and keener. The more facts we get, the keener our relish for more of them.
Soon.it will be impossible to sell a man or a woman anything until everything has been told about the goods that CAN be told through ADVERTISING.
