It is al- ways with me, guiding me in my pleasures and in my duties, telling me what I should eat, wear, and use and what I should buy for my family. I find that there is on the tip of my tongue a multitude of names the mention of which will bring from some shelf nearly everything that I can use in my daily life and in the daily life of my family. : In every instance that name means a very definite promise and assurance of something substantial and which will make me feel completely satis- fied about having exchanged my money for it. Let me say a few things which these names—these old friends of the newspaper and magazine pages — mean to me. ‘ They mean good taste. For cer- tainly I desire to do the thing that I believe discriminating people have judged best. . They mean convenience. It is not necessary to describe the thing I want. Even the most intimate artie- les may be purchased without em- barrassment since the advertisers have given us handy names. They mean assurance in shopping. There is no indecision. Even before I enter the shop I know what I want to buy. % And certainly they mean satisfac- tion. For the advertiser whose prod- uct is not good cannot continue to ad- vertise. The fact that I have seen a name repeated over and over again assures me that it stands for a prod-’ uct of quality. In speaking that - name to the clerk I know I am asking for the best. I am a more judicious shopper be- cause I buy advertised goods. I pat- ronize the shop that sells them.
