And the knight without escutcheon was looked upon ask- ance. He had no name to protect. He could live fairly or unfairly, as his whims directed. Modern knights of industry have devices—the ad- vertised trade-marks of their products. They must safe- guard the reputation of these trade-marks to keep them worth while. Advertising throws a powerful light on a trade- mark. If it proves worthy, it gains popularity and con- fidence. If it is shown to be unworthy, it quickly fails. So you can be sure that every consistently adver tis- ed product is good. The advertising test has proved it. The name of its maker stands behind it.
