Mary. But what about McChesney?
Rodney. Yes, what are we going to do when McChesney comes here to-day for money—cash?
Peale. Well, we don’t do any more business with him.
Mary. No, I guess we won’t.
Peale. Well, don’t you worry, old son, we’ll fix father somehow. Nobody can stop good advertising. Why, I met a little fellow on the train last night. He gets $50,000 a year just for writing ads. He says a good trade-mark is 70% of the battle, and we’ve got the best trade-mark I ever heard of.
Mary. You think we ought to keep on advertising?
Peale. Sure, if we can get credit.
Rodney. I suppose we might as well owe forty thousand as twenty.
Peale. Absolutely. Half of all modern advertising success is based on a good trade-mark, and ours is a bird.
Rodney. By George, that’s true, we simply have got to keep going. We’ll manage somehow.
