Yes, Times Have Changed

A FEW centuries ago the word idiot meant a mem
Aber Of the Roman citizenry. Citizens in general would
resent the implication that the word conveys, today. There
are still idiots, but the application Of the word is entirely
different from what it was of old.
There was also a time when some advertisements had to
be taken with a grain Of salt. A few misguided advertisers
thought they could sell goods better by disappearing
them. Those advertisers have long since gone out OF bus
mess or mended their ways. Hard experience taught that
mtruthful advertising didn't pay.
Other advertisers proved that the only way to advertise
successfully, make regular customers, and build up good will
was to tell the absolute truth about their goods.
