THE AMEJR1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1891. 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 Guarantee Dr. Acker's Blood Elixir, for It lias been fully demonstrated to the peoplo of this country that it is superior to all other preparations for blood dis eases.

But “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.

"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.— New York News.
