BACKED BY TRUTH

You have heard people read an advertisement and then say "I don't believe it". Once upon a time they might have been right, for dishonest people have advertised. But there are two good reasons why practically all advertising is honest.

ONE reason is that no good newspaper will print dishonest advertising. The other reason is that experience has proven that dishonest advertising hurts the advertiser far more than it does the buyer of the goods advertised. This fact is easy to understand. A person may be dishonest in a quiet, sneaky way, for a long time and never actually be caught at it. But an advertisement is a combination agreement and guarantee.
