Fraudulent Advertising.

1t will be remembered that the
legislature of Wisconsin passed a
law which includes fraudulent ad-
vertising within the scope thereof
and provides a penalty therefor.
There is considerable advertising
matter relating to lands in far away
localities floating about this section
which we believe TO be within the
terms of that law. SO much of this
class of advertising has been cir
Culated over the state of Wisconsin
and elsewhere that we have come
to look upon the same as legiti-
mate boosting Of a particular local
ity, when in fact it is an exaggera-
ton OF conditions and a misstate-
ment of facts II this law be en-
forced in some Of the most fragrant
cases, these boom concerns will be
more careful in sending out this
class of literature and will be com
PEELED to adhere more closely to
the facts and truth in relation to
their country and its prospects.
The Wisconsin Advancement
association has taken the proper
ground i'll reference to this matter
and that is, to tell the facts in re-
lation to conditions, knowing that
the satisfaction which parties will
receive by acting upon these repre-
sentations will secure better results
in the long run than was ever OBJ
tanned by misrepresentation and
fraudulent advertising
