Confidence is not a matter which
can be bought. It must be earned.
It is a process of growth- The idea
You hava often bought something
from someone you did not know, say
a solicitor who succeeded in taking
away your money at the door. Will
J9M eyer see him again? Will yon
get the goods you have .paid for?
Was It a miniature swindle? You
wonder and worry.
You spend hours In painful doubt.
Perhaps everything turned out all
right Even so, the profit went out
of the transaction when you had to
worry about getting your money*s
worth. Buy goods that are adver-
tised from merchants who adver-
tise. There lies confidence.
One of the chief services of news-
paper advertising to consumers is
that it denotes which merchants or
products are worthy of confidence.
Because newspaper publishers are
so Jealous of their advertising col-

thing which does not live up to their
