Exaggeration

We have never held with the
statement Of famous political

fooled" Our experience has
been directly to the contrary.
We have seen the failure Of too
many firms who followed this
belief!
We do not make exaggerated
statements in our advertising,
preferring to underestimate
rather than to overestimate a
claim. When value is quoted
on any item we advertise, you
may take that value to be tho
simple, actual worth Of the
goods. When the garment or
fabric is described, the descrip-
ton is clear an exact. When q
promise is made 1t rs fulfilled.
We try to make our advertis-
ing clear, interesting, readable;
but above all 1t must be
TRUTHFUL.
