BEWARE OF
DEALERS WHO
SUBSTITUTE

The dealer who will sell you an IN
itation for the original and chaEsS
you the price of the genulhs u
enough. But the dealer who taxes au
vantage Of the fact that you use
nickname in calling for an article, ana
sells you something inferior Wnlch =
named by the nickname Is gullty U
hypocrisy as we'll as unscrupuIOus-
ness Suppose, for instance, you MeIo
in the habit of speaking of and buylnS
camphOr as cam" Now, suppose Ilal
some dishonest manufacturer, knowing
that many people asked for campnOr
valueless imitation of camphor anu
called it cam" And, suppose AFTER
you had been fooled you went back
20 the dealer and said, See here, you
didn't sell me camphor the other day
he'd say, didn't you ask for cam!
You'd say yes; believe 1 did well,
he could answer, that was cam sofa
you, 1 didn't know you wanted genuine
camphcF." What would you think OF
a dealer like that-wOuldn't you be
GisEusted with anybody small eonugh
and foolish enough to suppose he could
make you think that it was all your
fault you didn't get what you wanted
your own fault that you were
cheated?
A few dealers are trying to deceive
their customers and are toolinS them
selves by serving an imitation Of Coca
Cola which IS named by a nickname Tor
that beverage. You see they expect to
get out of it very easily when caught
I'D with by pretending they thought
YOU meant the initiation when you
called for the genuine by nickname
Then, the safe thing for you to do, IS
to ask for that delicious, refreshing
and wholesome beverage by Its 1ulI
name, Coca-COla- Then If they are
dishonest enough to sell you an ini-
tation, you'll know how to avoid such
stores in the future
Remember, it's COca-Cola; demand
the genuine-refuse substitutes.

Usually he comes up after stay ling, under the water for 45 seconds, but has at times been able to remain under the surface for a minute and half. ff He does the Coney Island dip, the jack knife dive and many other pretty dives to perfection.
