Retailers Hear Service Talk Importance of Advertising and Good W ill Stressed Be* fore Dry Goods Men. Satisfying the customer* 1* one of the biggest factors In successful mer chandising, E. M. Baumann of West Point told the dry goods and ready to-wear association delegates to the convention of the Federation of Ne braska retailers here. "Every merchant should realise the great Importance of advertising." Baumann stated, felling of results in his own business fi'nm advertising through local newspapers, house or gans, signs and other mediums. Style shows are also excellent, he declared, hut when a customer wears one of your garments it is even better ad vertising. "A country merchant depends al most entirely on trade that travels over the roads and why he wants to hinder that trip by fighting good roads I am at a loss to understand," he saflh "It seems to me that when the country merchant opposes good roads he admits a weakness. If I didn't believe I was giving real serv ice I would get out of business. I believe we serve our local people bet ter than uny one at a distonce can and will never admit that 1 am-afraid of any competition whatever.” O. .T. Miller told of methods em ployed in his Burwell and Ht.

Its discovery is, in fact, one of the greatest triumphs of science. Until recently, however, this wonderful treatment was beyond the n.ach of any but a few, because it Was given principally in hospitals and with special equipment. It was not accessible to the general public and was very costly. Now Science has scored another achievement in making chlorine treatment available to all. It has done this by creating a chlorine ointment, known as Respirine. This ointment, chlorine, when applied to the nostrils, liberctes pure chlorine gas, which the act of breath ing carries to every part of the nose, throat and lungs. The gas' thus acts directly upon the inflamed, diseased membranes. No more efficient method could possibly be invented. This is the same chlorine gas which is obtained by the expensive hospital treatment, but you can take it in your own home or anywhere else at any time. All you need do now to obtain a complete and effective chorine treatment whenever you need it, and at a cost of only a few cents, i3 to have handy a tube of Respirine, which you can get at any drug store. 50 Treatments \\\' for 50c Knocks a COLD in 3 Hours The beneficial effect of Chlorine Respirine on a cold is felt immediately.

It is for children as wellasforadults. Chlorine Respirine is a remark able curative agent not only for colds, but for bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, influenza, and whoop ing cough. It is also a most effective preventative of these diseases. Use it after being in a crowded place or in contact anywhere with infected people. Use it also whenever you begin to sneeze or snuffle or when any other symptom of “taking cold’.’ appeaps, and you may forestall an attack of serioos illness.
