wild orgies of charlatanry and
quackery until today, the large
manufacturers and successful re-
tailers advertise the truth about
their goods. Honest advertising
pays and those who never resort
to misrepresentation are growing
year after year.
Honest advertising increases
the production and sale of an
article. This cuts manufacturing
and selling costs and enables the
manufacturer to give better quail
ity or a larger quantity for the
price you pay.
1t will profit you greatly to
read the advertisements in your
local newspaper and other pub
locations and patronize those
concerns whose advertising is
believable.

The largest food manufacturers,

 The other features seem to convey n similar impression The cheeks are plump; the cyclidS closed as If in sleep; the black curly hair still clus, terS round the skull; the skin has scarcely lost any If its dark yellow tint; and the ears are perfectly pre- served. The expression of the face and general appearance of the body are those if man thirty years old and six and Il half feet in height.
