Bad debts constitute a consid

treated in one of two ways, eith
er hy deduction from Income In
respect of debts ascertained to
be worthless In whole or in part,
or by a ded ictlon from Income
of a reasonable undltlon to a re

come may select either method,
subject to approval by the eom-
inissioner upon examination of the'
return. If the method selected
Ik approved, it must be followed
In ret irns for subsequent yeurs.
except as permission may be
Krunlcd by the commissioner to

laxpayern huvinfir a huw number
of aei'ounts where credit has been
extended to cover a considerable
period of time. It fs not frrutited
Tor the purpose of handling one

What constitutes "a reasonable
ndillllun" to a reserve for bad
debts jnust be determined In lifrht
of the facts, and will vary as be
tween classes of business and with
conditions of business prosperity.
A tnxpnyer tislnjr tho reserve

AN HONEST
MAN'S -WORD
More than three hundred years ago, Miguel de Cer
vantes said : "An honest man's word is as good as his
bond." Advertisers must be honest men, if they would
remain advertisers. Their announcements are signed.
They must tell the truth in their advertising. For their
own protection, as well as yours.
What would it profit a man to advertise "Pure- virgin
wool suits," only to have you discover they were shoddy?
You would soon separate the sheep from the cotton.
And you would never deal with that man again. And, .
further, you would tell all your acquaintances what a
skinflint he was.
As a matter of business, if not of personal principle,
an advertiser must tell the truth in his signed announce
ments. That's what makes the advertising columns of
this paper such reliable guides to honest merchandise.
The printed announcements are bonds between you and
the advertiser.
Read the advertisements. Read them regularly. To
be informed on the newest and best in everything. To
save hours of shopping. To make the family purse do a
bigger, better job. To get goods of known quality at tho
most attractive price.
You would not plan a motor trip without first con
sulting road-maps and guide-books. Is it logical to plan
a shopping trip without first consulting the advertise
ments? Read the advertisements. Then go to the stores
with your mind more than half made up.
A Signed Advertisement Is, in Effect, a Sealed Bond
Between You and the Advertiser
