But Every Day Until Every Yard IL

In these days of eXtravagant advertising
statements it is sometimes difficult to dis
criminate between legitimate offerings and
offerings made as "cateh" to attract the
unwary, although intelligent buyers are
not often misled by offerings of the latter
class, for on careful reading there is gener-
ally some point by which they are readily
detected; nevertheless the amount of cred
ence with which advertising statements are
taken is largely dependent on the standing
and reliability Of the house that makes
them.
