DEAR MADAM:

You have often wondered why
reputable dealers sometimes offer
you actually S0orthLess limitations Of
Memo Self-Reducing Corsets, when
they could just as we'll sell you the
genuine Nemos. Wen tell you why:
l. The spurious ''Teducing'N cor
: sets give the dealer a larger profit
for they cost much less to make.
2. Dealers who, fully intend to
be square with you are often misled
by the false claims of imitators.
8. 1t is woman's right to change
her mind; to try something that she
thinks is new, even when she is
entirely satisfied with what she has
already-and the merchant must be
prepared to humor her whim.
But the proof Of the Memo IS the
WEARING thereof Try any of the
imitations-JUsT ONCE; then you'll
be a Memo wearer for life.

tice Ayers said that he was thorough
