full to compare statement and
fact. Therefore, if you con-
DENIM, stop and think whether
you have always been careful
to discreditlying and encourage
truth in advertising.
Commercial literature in adj
vertising is too great a force in
modern life to be ignored. You
Can neither evade the fact nor
your own relation to it. 1t has
influence andmakes impression
whether you will or not.
Behind the advertising
scenes you may see strange
statements: Thousands OF
dozens Or pieces or yards when
the total stock at command is
only scores or hundreds; prices
reduced, when the process Of
reduction is to open new goods
and mark two prices at the
same time, a high price above,
a lower one beneath it to
state a value as normal and
with it a reduced price, when
all the time the market has
ruled as low or lower than the
so-called reduction; and so on
through devious and dubious
statement in scores of forms.
This sort of thing only lives
by encouragement. They that
encourage share the response

truth-tellers fyou care to.
