TRUTH IN ADVERTISING

1t is only a few years since the
average advertising solicitor was
we'll overstating the brilliant pros
poets he had to offer. The man
who claimed most circulation had the
best chance of getting the adver-
tisement. Streams arn't given to
rising higher than their source, and
the advertiser in turn was-well
overstating the brilliant things he
had to offer. He knew Jones was
saying his third rate stuff was first
rate, and he had to do what Jones
did. At least he thought he had.
In just a few years all that has
changed NIGHTLY. Newspaper
couldn't stand it. Everyone knew
circulation claims were exaggerated,
but no one knew how much.
Well, that interests the advertiser,
but how about the public? The
growing business of advertising
needed standard that could be uni
versal, and the business of advertis-
ing needed an ideal. One word an
swered both needs, Truth. And
truth is what the advertising clubs
set up as an attainable ideal. The
current was turned. After all, if
Jones lied, his. customers would find
it out, and then if you didn't lie,
your customers-and some Of Jones'
find that out. Words used
to be pretty cheap in print, and
someone coined the expression "lie
like catalogue" but today a cata-
logue, or any other advertisement
that goes in for lying, is pretty dear.
Perfection! No, that is still in the
distance. s But if anyone stops to
think about it, he is going to realize
that thousands of his fellow men to-
day believe what they read in ad-
vertisements and act on it.
This means alertness on the part
of trade and advertising mediums
alike. There are plenty of new fly
by-night merchants ready enough to
print lies, to take advantage if they
can of the established business that
his to tell the truth. But that kind
of business finds it hard to break into
print today-to break in, that is, in
self-respecting papers or magazines.
The publisher scans his advertising
copy as carefully as anything that
goes into his news. He has to give
sound business the assurance that it
will not be found in the company of
cheats and tricksters. There are
securities hawked about in shops and
homes and offices today that cannot
break into advertising columns of any
decent newspapers.
An untruthful advertiser is a La
bility to a newspaper, because ne is
a liability to every sound business.
And so newspaper is a protection
to it's readers. The best of them want
to be: the rest of them in ever-in-
creasing numbers, have to be.
It is not smart today to lie about
YOUR wares. And while truth is a
pleasant thing to discover and an ideal
we like to hold, it also conquers be-
cause it pays.-Milwaukee Journal.
