announce themselves as direct
from some big concern in New
York City, locating temporarily
in the community, to give the
people the great advantage that
will accrue to them if they buy
their merchandise.
They are "fy-by-night" bust
ness houses that SHOULD NOT
BE PATRONIZED BY THE
PEOPLE and THEIR ADVER-
Using SHOULD NOT BE
PRINTED BY ANY NEWS
PAPER.
Newspapers that do print the
advertising on the ground that
they are common carriers and
have right to print anything
offered to them that seems re-
spectacle, not only are UNFAIR
TO REPUTABLE M E R c H.
ANTS, but absolutely forget
their moral responsibility to
their readers.
Does it ever occur to these
newspapers that their readers
are really buncoed by these con-
cerns-that they don't secure
merchandise of real value and
that by the time they realize
they have been fooled the fake
concern has moved away, and
they have no opportunity to re-
cover damages for the decep-
ton practiced upon them?
The people in every commun-
Iity should be LOYAL to the
REPUTAB LIE MERCHANTS
in their community. No RELI-
ABLE MERCHANT ever fools

Ninety per cent. of the mer-
chants engaged in business try

but they suffer, as do the people,
from the small percentage of
untrustworthy concerns that do
not care rap whether they
cheat the people or the news

These "fy-by-night" schem-
ers should not be permitted to
rent stores in communities in

should be held responsible for
