Perfidious savages IN THE Torres Straits Islands in the East Indies, there are no trees suitable for canoe ouilding. So the natives, a cruel, treacherous race, import their canoes from the Fly River Delta in New Guinea—another place with an unenviable reputation. The distance between these two places is over four hundred miles, and no native in that region travels even one-quarter of that distance. The word is simply passed on from tribe to tribe. On the strength of this vague order a canoe is built. Then it is relayed back. Each tribe of bloodthirsty cannibals tests and discusses it before passing it on. Finally the payment, shell necklaces, spear points, arm bands, makes its way to the canoe builders in the same leisurely fashion. There is reason for this honesty in savages to whom perfidy is natural. If any of the parties in this complicated transaction were to risk being dishonest, their credit would be ruined. And though these natives may kill and eat each other, they hold barter inviolate. Even savages understand that in commerce it pays to be honest, and to let the world realize your honesty! So in modern business. Advertising must be honest and it is a proof of honesty. A product’s advertising is the best guarantee of its quality, usefulness and value. The man who advertises is inviting your inspection. He is letting his goods stand on their own merit. He can’t afford to deceive you. You can depend on him. That’s why it pays to read advertising and to buy advertised goods. \ Any one can spend money—the reader of advertisements spends wisely .
