Increasing salaries of district attor
neys throughout tbe state waa voted

v4n 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. i ' '
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
vthis 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 the
most attractive price.
You would not plan a motor trip without first consult
ing road-maps and guide-books. Is it logical to plan a
shopping trip without first consulting the advertisements?
Read the advertisements. Then go to the stores with'
your mind more than half made up.

A signed advertisement is, ia effect, a sealed bond
between you and the advertiser.
