TEU. THE TRUTH ALWAYS.
. ; :— -
bn Hlat* to Adnrllitn That Mar Ra
Worth Hooding.
Of two advertisers the one who tells
the whole truth concerning an article
will in time bo more successful than he
who tells only a portion of the truth.
This does not mean that advertisers or
salesmen shall talk simply for the pleas
ure of showing how much they know
concerning the goods. Experience has
fully demonstrated the truth of the slang
phrase, “Talk's cheap,” and it is well
known that the salesman who talks in-
cessantly is not the man who sells the
largest quantity of goods, nor is the long
est advertisement the ono that is most
frequently read. But if it liecomes nec
essary to go into detail about an article
do not equivocate concerning It
Some advertisers will deliberately go
out of their way to lie—-a hard, but nev
ertheless a truo statement. “This cloak
$5; worth §12." “This beautiful cash-
mere IIS cents; worth $1.80."
The man on tiio “inside" know s that a
house would not, and indeed could not,
sell staple goods all the year at a loss,
and consequently there must lie a lie
somewhere. The public may be taken
in fora time, but there will surely be a
reaction. A merchant once suid: “Of
course, If we were doing business in a
small town wo could not play .ttye public
witli these constant baits, but we calcu
late that by tile time' one class of people
lias become dissatisfied, another class of
the ever shifting population will step in
and take tlieir places.” This is a bad
principle upon which to do a (K-rmanent
business, and judging from the change in
tho stylo of this same merchant's adver
tisements, he also 1ms become convinced
that it is bad,
There is another style of advertising
which is practiced in Borne of our best
establishments. No lie is told, but the
truth is expressed in a manner intended
to mislead —a species of acted lie. During
the post season there was a time when
fur capes could not be delivered fast
enough. Everybody wanted them, and
tho merchant who waB fortunate enough
to have a stock of these goods could turn
them over at a fair profit. Astrakhan
was one of the popular furs. The capes
brought about $13 and the muffs about
$3.80 and $1 at retail. No wonder, then,
that many ladies were allured by a sign
on a cape in on up town store which
read, “Remarkably cheap, only $3.73.”
Tho writer was in tho store when a lady
asked to be shown ouo of tho $3.73 capes,
“Old that sign don’t mean tho cape,”
said tho clerk, “it is the mutt that is
$3.75.”
“Then why,” asked the lady, “do you
put the sign on the cape and not ou the
muffV"
“I’m sure I don't know. I suppose
that tho firm take it for granted that no
body would expect to get a fur cape at
that price, and that the $3.7$ must refor
to tho muff."
“That may bo as you say, but It it
nevertheless an attempt to deceive.”
Tills was the customer's verdict, and
she was entirely correct When the
customer had gone inquiry was made
'and tho fact Aliened that for some reason
the trade had fallen off wonderfully for
tbs two days, that tho sipi had been ex
hiblted. It was plain that tho ladies, feel
ing indignant at an attempted imposition,
turned away from that department with-
ivr; cas asd do

“No," Haiti a well-known statesman,
“I shall never believe that woman has
the proper judgment and sense to cast a
ballot, or interfere in politics while she
is so weak-minded as to passively suf
fer, year after year, from diseases pecu
liar to females, when every newspaper
she picks up tells of the merits of Dr.
Fierce.* Favorite Prescription. Not to
take advantage of this remedy is cer
tainly an indication of mental weak
ness !’’
There is a wholesome kernel of truth
inside the rough shell of this tiugaliant
speech. The “Favorite Prescription” is
invaluable in all uterine troubles, in
(laminations, ulcerations, displacements,
nervous disorders, prostration, exhaus
tion, or hysteria. For run-down, worn-
out women, uo more strengthening tonic

To Sav. "The Angolu.. 1
There is a curious fact to be noted In
association with tho exhibition of “Th<
Angelus" at the American Art Galleries.
This is that that costly work was not in
sured for a cent. Tho association hods
fire patrol on band night and day, and
In case of fire certain pictures, the chiel
of them “The Angelus,” would have
been carried to a safe plaoe in pretty
short order. There are a great many
ways oat of the galleries. What with
windows cn three streets and blind tn-
trances on BroadVay and Tweoty-eecond
street, In addition to the main entranoe
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, a
great deal of property might be rescued
if a fire was discovered in time.
With an efficient fire patrol on guard,
the association could afford to take the
chance of insuring itself. I see some
western paper has printed the story of
alleged plot to steal “The Angel
This is pure bosh. It would not pay
one to steal a picture so well known '
cause no dealer, collector or publio mu!
scum would dare buy it, and any one tc
whom it was offered, knowing that il
must be stolen, would be Hkely to put the
offerer under arrest. Tho attempt might
be made for the sake of a possible re
ward, bat here alio I imagine it would
he a failure, for the owners are persons of
the sort *bo would rather expend double
the money to capture and convict a thief
than pay a premium on his felony.—
