The Sword of Truth

For ages the most powerful ally of sin and
crime has been ignorance. The swiftest, surest
destroyer of evil is Truth. No weapon ever

flashing, widely-swung weapon of Truth
The stories in True Story Magazine are true
When Bernarr Macfadden, its founder and pub
Usher, declared war on the forces of evil, he was
aware that only by presenting the facts about life
and its problems, fearlessy and forcefully, could
he hope to win in the great fight against wrong.
