TMTH tlHNit ADVERTISIRfi By CHARLES B. ROTH ' jkj OW and then--but very rarely-- someone attempts to take adwantage of the selling power of ad- 1 frertising by misrepresenting and Cheating the public. Such attempts are never permatiently successful, because in the long run the American public is quick to detect falsehood fend poor quality and then it is quick tr> ftvoid the seller of feoth. Several years ago flelen Woodward, fprobably America's Inost brilliant adver •ising woman, rr "fired from adVerti: fng, charging that i f h e t r o u b l e w i t h business was it believed in truth-- fcut always spelled the word with a small "t" in place of a bold capital , letter. \ When Mrs. Woodward made that Charge it may have been true. But it isn't true now. And the reason «hy advertising today uses the capital "T" is that that which is printed >,*tannot be hidden. • Crimes and dishonesty, as someone has said, keep in the darksss, while advertising, out in the jht where all may see, invites comparison. It stands or falls on the quality of the goods o* service of- SPELLED WITH A CAPITAL T fered, and on the truth of its words. An advertiser--national manufacturer or local merchant--is in this position: He must not misrepresent because he has a permanent and a large investment in his business, in his customers and in his community. If he does succeed by lying in gaining a few customers, they never come back and 'trade with him again. In the long run his misrepresentation will be the cause of his bankruptcy. No business ever wants that. You as a customer profit by this requirement of advertising to tell the truth. You profit, not alone by getting better goods at lower prices: you also profit by the fact that you do not need to shop around before you buy. You can be so sure of the quality of advertised goods, so certain it will be right, that you can buy these goods by brand, with your eyes closed--and know that whatever you read about them in the advertising you will find true about them. In this way advertising not only serves the man who advertises, but serves yon who bay equally well. It acts as your expert merchandising advisor. What it says you can helieve. Because advertising today uses the capital "T." - « fl CkarlM B. Roth- Charles Roth When Commissioner H. B. Blakely Los Angeles asked prospective Juryman Perry Wilden if he had ever been arrested Wilden's 'reply was: "Yes, for speeding on a bicycle in 1906." Lewis Cottern of North Royalton, Ohio, aftjer varnishing the kitchen floor asked his wife what she thought of it, "Very nice," she replied, "except you've used maple syrup instead of varnish." ^SNAPSHOT GUILD USE THE SHADOWS TOO M tall the story her*. Learn to observe shadows and create shadow effects. They lead to more Interesting pictures. SHADOWS are important in a picture-- in fact, Just as Important at times as the brightly lighted areas. Observe shadows--use them Judiciously--and your pictures will be more effective. Every artist knows that a strong shadow can be used to make a subject stand away from a background. The shadow gives an effect of 'depth or "third dimension," even though the picture is actually on a tat sheet of canvas or paper. Shadows, when used properly, Sdeo give an effect of roundness or "Modeling" to a subject. By placing a light at the proper angle, often a Tather flat subject can be made to rseem well-rounded. If the subjects In some of your pictures seem flat and lacking in "third dimension," .maybe you Just haven't been plac- Big your photo lights in the best positions. There's a special use, too, for "^Shadows cast on a background. Sometimes they can be made to ' hiring out the idea or "story" of a ) picture. For example, in the statu- : ®tte shot above, the shadow shows (he action clearly--more clearly an the subjects themselves. To obtain a sharp, clean - cat shadow on a background, use a: photo bulb without a reflector. Two' photo bulbs side by side, without reflectors, will give a double shadow. Many novel effects can be worked out. However, you must remember that a reflector multiplies the light from a photo bulb. Therefore, when you omit the reflector, exposare must be Increased. Short "time" exposures will usually be needed with inexpensive cameras. Try one to two seconds, with a box camera and high speed film, when a small No. 1 photo bnlb is used 8ve or six feet from the subject. Of coarse, have the camera on a firm Support. The closer the photo bulb is to the camera, the "flatter" the light? lng. As the bulb is moved around toward the side of the subject, the lighting becomes more contrasts and shadows are broader. When using "side lighting," make sore that direct light doesn't shine into the camera lens. Experiment with shadows. It's interesting-- and it will lead yon to better pictures. _ ran Guilder MK&KNIPFRL, FORMER ' VOU> RESIDENT, DIES Mrs. "Charlotte Knipfel, 89, formerly of Volo, died last Wednesday, March 6, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lottie Bremock, at7 IB S.

The evening mail from Chicago does not reach this station now until half past seven, and by the time, it gets over from the depot and is distributed it is eight o'clock. Consequently the swearing among those who want to get their mail and go home, is both loud and deep. Our tax collector, Wm. Schreiner, has notwithstanding the close times In the money market, beat the record in collecting the taxes of his town. He was obliged to return only $203 as uncollected, and but $1.57 of that was personal property. Messrs. R. R.
