"Ask the powijrs of baseball. Ask Ban Johnson, who pulled the strings in this case. Ask him who saved Arnold Rothstein."

Only good goods, fairly priced, can stand the spotlight of publicity. A merchant or manufacturer would not dare to advertise merchandise that is poor in quality, poor in make or that will not give reasonable wear. The penalty of such tactics is too heavy. No goods and no business concern can thrive under the weight of public condemnation. A merchant places the whole reputation of his business at stake every time he advertises. Naturally enough, he is careful of what he says and when his statement is placed in the newspaper where everyone in town may read so that any untruth in it will be known to all of his employees and most of his friends then you may be sure he is doubly careful. When you buy advertised goods you get a bargain because they must be as advertised. So it pays you to read advertisements. Adver tising protects you. Read the advertisements in this paper and get the best of jthe bargain. The Morning Star "The Paper The People Hare Confidence In" STAR CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS 1 r
