THE HONEST ADVERTISER.
Crisis Ad. Man Discusses Danger
of Exasserating the Facts.

To-.
Albion Lewis Holsey. the bright
and promising young advertis-
ing manager for the Crisis mag
azine. takes editors to task who
accept doctored copy. Mr.. Hol-
sey says:
The one great fault noticeable
in the average run Of advertise
ments is the tendency to exag-
gerate. Some persons seem to
think that exaggeration is the
first step in advertising. But
such Is not the case. The public
is now demanding such a high
literary standard for its news
papers that exaggerated state
ments made under the guise Of
advertisements is out Of place
and has no point Of appeal.
Afro-American editors should
guard their advertising columns
with the same care they exer-
else toward the literary items.
They should not permit any
thing that has any element Of
fake to be inserted as an adver-
tisement because when the pub
lie has been swindled through
a newspaper they straightway
lose confidence in 1t. 49,.
Recently saw this remark
able statement in a well known
weekly. 1.-THE editor Of this
paper wishes to state that a GER
tain misleading statement made
in the - advertisement last
week is not his personal views.
Advertisers buy space in our
paper and are privileged to say
what they think best to give
their advertisement the desired
effect"
cannot understand why any
editor would accept for his read
ers any advertisement that he
did not believe in himself. Peo-
pie have no confidence in a
paper that accepts unreliable ad-
vertisements and, knowing this,
the honest advertiser avoids
them.
