I have heard grandmother tell how happy she was and how proud when her father first ;put the little geography into her hands. Neither children nor college studenta of ten feel so today. We give courses in the appreciation of poetry and music and art; we have made rapid advancement In teaching 'Children since grandmother's time.

ANGEL k2 ac I lore Fooling Nowhere did Abraham Lincoln show his shrewdness of judgment better than in that fa mous utterance which ended,. "You can't fool all the people all the time." In the past, there were a few misguided ad vertisers who thought they could sell their wares better by misrepresentation. But those adver tisers have long since gone out of business or mended theif ways. Hard experience taught that Lincoln was right. Untruthful advertising doesn't pay. ....' ...... N . . , Other advertisersproved that the only way to advertise successfully, make regular custo mers and build up public good-will was to tell the absolute truth about their goods. So, you can be sure that every consistently advertised producfis good. The advertising test has proved it. The very fact that it is advertised is your best warranty of satisfaction -and true quality. The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing js a good concern with which to do busi ness. That is why it pays to read the advertise ments, to patronize advertisers, and to buy ad vertised merchandise. IT'S MIGHTY GOOD BUSINESS
