The spoken word so changes and colors much that we say, that by the time it passes many lips only the skeleton of truth remains. -- But how different it is with the printed word! That is why you can trust the advertisements. Had you thought of it that way? Simply because a manufacturer is compelled to be accurate in type, you know that the quality of the soap, ginger ale, clothing, butter or furniture that you buy is as standardized as the calendar.
