PICTURES ARE NOT
ALWAYS TRUTHFUL
Some Mail Order Houses Find
Them Very Useful in Their
Business.
CAN DOCTOR" PHOTOGRAPH
Concerns Can Give Wrong impress
sions With illustrations While
Sticking TO Truth in
Descriptions.

Copyright. 1871 Western Newspaper Union.)
Figures never lie," it has been
claimed, but this is far from the
truth. The defaulter who has doc
tored" his books in such way that he
has escaped detection for years, knows
that figures can be made to lie. The
shrewd politician, who knows how to
juggle statistics, knows that they can
be made TO tell story that is far from
the truth.
But there is another medium of ex-
preston which is also supposed TO be
stickler for truth, but which Is a
greater prevaricator than figures.
That is picture. A picture of any
person or thing, supposedly, is an ex-
act reproduction of the original, but
this is frequently only a wild suppo-
sition. The photographer who did not
make his picture tell little fb now
and then would soon go out of bust
ness from lack Of patronage.
Pictures Better Than Words.
Pictures have come to occupy a very
important place in the life of the world
in recent years. 1t has been said that
for newspaper purposes a picture
which tells its story strikingly is worth
more than columns Of written words
on the same subject Newspapers and
magazines have realized the truth OF
this fact and as a result pictures are
used profusely in illustrating the news
and fiction OF the day
No one has been quicker to realize
the possibilities Of the picture when
properly-or 1t might be said improp-
| erly-used, than the mail order man.
He has realized that a picture will
do more to sell his kind of merchan-
disc than column of words and fig
ures. One reason for this is that 1t
is harder TO catch a picture in a lie
than 1t IS printed words and figures.
For instance, If you sell man a table
on the strength of a printed statement
that 1t Is 48 inches wide and if when
the table reaches the customer it is
only SO inches wide, the customer not
only has a moral right TO kick, but
he has a legal right TO accuse the sell
er of obtaining money under false pre-
| lenses. However. IL the customer
buys a table which looks in a picture
to BE IS inches wide, but which proves
upon Its arrival to be only SO inches
wide. he has no legal grounds upon
which to base q complaint if the sell
| er has not told him in so many words
that the table was AZ inches wide.
Stick to Truth in Figures.
Some INSCRIPTIONS mail order
houses have taken advantage Of this
selling power of pictures in very in
genious way. They adhere strictly to
| the truth in the actual measurements
| given in their catalogues of the ard
cles which they have to sell. They
may employ descriptions which exag
| gerate the qualities and appearances
| OF the articles offered, but when i
| comes down TO actual measurements
| the descriptions given are technically
| correct. Then these concerns rely upon
| their pictures to sell the merchandise
realizing that a picture will make q
| far deeper impression upon the mind
| of the prospective buyer than the act
ual figures given. A picture of wide
