“REMEDIES TRUE TO LABEL”

My Dear Public: After a life time devoted to the study of Drugs and Chemicals and the compounding and distribution of medicines I now offer a few “Remedies true to Label" under my name and personal guarantee. Each product represents a favorite and carefully selected prescription of known therapeutic value and when used as directed will result in the conservation and im¬ provement in health and relief from pain. Laboratory work necessary for their production and packaging is supervised by skilled, experienced pharmaceutical chemists which coupled with the use of pure drugs and chemicals enables me to market "Remedies true to Label” as perfect products at sensible prices. Very truly yours.

I am Assurance I allay the fear in the producers mind, while assuring them that the Artists will shortly return their call. WRIGLEY BUILDING f am Security I guarantee the ARTIST that his mes¬ RESTAURANT sages will not be injured because a producer was unable to reach him when needed. I promise the Artist that the producers will not be provoked by unnecessary waiting.

tarn Experience More than five million calls have * passed through my hands during my years of service. Five million calls and a score of years have given me knowl¬ edge possessed by no one else; for while I have served many masters dur¬ ing those years, I have served only one. Telephone Message Exchange alone can boast management with fifteen years of continuous successful experi¬ ence. f am Economy My services cost only a few cents a day and they protect the work that has taken you years of study and hundreds of dollars to build up. I am eager that you too should know my keen and masterful handling of phone calls and the peace of mind that comes with our service.
