Co-operative Coinranj, l[L FLESHERTON, Ontario Truthful Advertising Some people say "It is only an ad.'" But an ad is more than an advert ioe- ment or announcement. It is a definite legal contz-act between the advertiser and his customer. Every advertise, in this newspaper lies or mi.srepre- sents at his own peril and knows ii First we will not accept his advertis- ing at all if we have any rea.son Co doubt his .pharacter or his goods. Next, any customer who finds that the goods do not correspond in every material respect with the pinted xijci- .ui.-: iv;{,a. r..mtaie=. But that legal aspect is apart from the damage Ihat would be done to an advertiser's b... ii...:j if iilj cistomers told' their .'i:,:-..:; .-f 1;;^ -.r.isrepresentation. Most merchants are honest and .iCc of the doubtful ones are afraid t.o be dishonest. The wise merchant lit'.ps asking and testing what hts cur toners really want and what they Jii-y do not desire. He stocks his goods at prices accordnly and words his advertisements in what he thinks is the best way to please the customers he wants to attract.
