During the examination of Mitchell,

that he had bought the kodak from
Ben Lee Carter, Janitor at W. H. C.
Dudley’s bicycle and kodak store. Ben
Lee was promptly arrested, and being

KANSAS CITY, April 21.—“Adver
tising rests solely on the reader’s con
fidence,’’ Richard Lee, counsel of the
national vigilance committee of aft-
vcrtlsers and a crusader In the cause
of honest advertising, told the Kan
sas City Advertisers’ Club at luncheon
In the Hotel Baltimore.
Mr. Lee, former advertising manager
of the New York Tribune, has led
campaigns In the last two years that
have resulted In prosectulons and con
victions of the promoters of the Emer
son Motors Company, Diternatlonal
Automobile League, Alliance Tire and
Rubber Company and the International
India Rubber Corporation.
In his address Mr. Lee told how
the public had been victimized by
these concerns and that with every
dollar lost on such fradulent adver
tising schemes, a hundred dollars be
came suspicious of all advertisements.
“It Is our duty as honest men and
as good business men to keep adver
tising truthful. We must strive to
save the confidence of news readers.
The man who uses advertising space
Illegitimately destroys that confidence
that alone makes advertising worthy
and profitable..
' Truth Pays Dlxldends.
“We are not trying to destroy ad
vertising. Rather we are trying to
build/lt up. Once gain the full con
fidence of the readers and advertising
will then be a valuable asset and
will remain so as long os the merchant
adheres strictly to the truth.
“The truth pays dividends. If you
doubt It, listen to this: More than
a year ago one of the largest depart-
* ment store was ‘in bad.* It had over-
w stepped in Its advertising and Its ad
vertising and Its goods had fallen to
low quality. Some paperes refused It
space, others supervlsled Its copy un
til little remained. What was done?
"Our vigilance committee was asked.
We recommended absolute honest ad
vertising. If goods were bad or of low
quality, to say so. That was done.
April 1, 1918, every New York paper
carried advertising on tho big truth
sale. The public was skeptical, so were
the proprietors, concerning the abso-
as: ’No silk In these silk lisle hose,*
‘These are soiled and do not wash
well.’ In the basement was. this:
’These goods are marked low because
they were unfit for pale on upper
floors.* On aU the floors. In big signs,
was this pledge: ’If you are dis
satisfied with purchases at this sale
your money will be returned.’
Turned Failure Into Profib
‘"niat sale onded May 15 and broke
all records. Not only was the big
stock practically sold, but at a profit
of more than 1 million dollars. Inci
dentally customers bought with the
feeling they had been furnished cor
rect Information, and so few demand
ed money back that the firm has fol
lowed'the truthful advertising plan
ever since.”
"A newspaper reporter can draw on
his Imagination somewhat and the re
sultant story Is a credit to^tlm and a
delight to a reader. But that is not
true In the relationship between an
advertiser and that same newspaper.
The advertisers should know his goods
and tell the truth and the newspaper
should Insist that he does so.
“Let me Illustrate: A merchant ad
vertises shoes of values to 315 for
35.65. Mrs. Smith Is fitted with a 315
shoe, while her neighbor, Mrs. Jones,
bought a former $10 shoe. Both got
bargains, you might say, yet that
merchant lost all the confidence those
women ever felt toward his adver
tising.”
