But if an ad writer says that a certain lot formerly priced at $40, is now marked down to $30, or that I standard line usutlly selling at 840 has been bought at a sacrifice so it can be sold for 330. here is a definite atltement of fact that carries convic- tion to everyone. Anyone would know that no advertiser on the north shore would dare make such a stntement, if it were not strictly true. Of course a statement nf fact is al- ways more convincing. If the ad writ- er 06ers "Suits for $30.00. worth $40.00." manypeople will accept his statement in view of the record of his store. Still there will always be some suspicious people, who would claim that any seller of goods is in- clined to exaggerate their value.
