it would probably emit violent lamentations at the

is sure to criticize the taste.
The next the hardest job the press agent has to
do is to straghten OUT to rectfy to make coherent
and salable, the wordy wares that drip from the
tongue of his employer. The most difficult task
that falls to his lot is to prevent things from getting

give up space in his periodical by presenting to him
