Y | 1 {Here is what a prominent rhysician says in regards to Cottolene in Worcester | IS THE CO-OPERATIVE WAY There is no royal road to busi- ness suckess—but some ways are easier than others. Co-operative advertising be- tween merchants and manufac- turers In the newspapers that directly reach-the buying public is the modern “Easier Way." When the manufacturer of a nationaily distributed article puts his plea for business in the newspapers of this town he is making customers for yuur store as well as for himself, Mr. Deal- er. The more business he can-send to the store the beiter off he is. Conversely, every time tne merchant treats a prospective customer pleasantly, shows the advertised, article, and explains its merits, he is helping the man- facturer as well as himself. It's a fair game of push and pull When manufacturer and mer- chant work together through the columns of the local newspapers they are moving to success along the * sier Way. If any .manufacturer who is interested in co-operative dealer work will address the Bureau of Advertising, American News- paper Publishers Association, World Building, New York, it will be glad to answer questions.

He asked fo: roboration of the story, and one,of those present said true, and the here tonight.” At the request Clemens, Rev.

A doctor writes: “I have been using Pestum for the last seven or eight years, and think it has had a good deal to do with my looking younger than 85 years of age. “I recommended it to all my patients, and thase who have been using it have only praises for its taste and its good effects on their nervous systems; like me they have given up tea and coffee altogether.” ame, in 4,004 females. being 5,602 males and Postum is a pure food-drink made of wheat and a small proportion of molasses — roasted and skilfully blended. It is absolutely free from the coffee drugs, caffeine and tannin — common causes of heart, stom- ach, liver, kidney and nerve disturbance. Some people marvel at the benefits from leaving off coffee and using Postum, but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common use. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be boiled. 15c¢ and 25¢ pkgs. | Instant Postum—a soluble powder, requires no boil- ing. A spoonful stirred in a cup of hot water makes |} adelicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. “There’s a Reason” POSTUM | —sold by Grocers ever) 'where.
