T,rnth in Advertising.

The Advertising club movement,
which is embodied in the Associatea

iof business men who are engaged IN

business ideals into business methods;
The emblem of the order is the woF &c
l"Truth,. says Herbert 8. Houston IN

lough-going way the effort IS beng
made to put that emblem into concrete
comm ercial practice.
There is no noisy or spectacular
lcommotion about it. Instead there IS
the earnestness born Of conviction.
Occasionally a foolish publication pa
rades It's virtue, thing which most
honest people are willing to take for
granted but in the main everything
about this movement has been sane
and strong and reasonable. The re-
suit has been that honest and belev-

great bulk of advertising; the kind that
is dishonest is small and what there IS
left of it is surely doomed.
