Concerns Can Give Wrong sions With lllustrations Sticking to Truth Descriptions, While in (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) “Figures never lle,” it has been claimed, but this is far from the truth. The defaulter who has “doc tored™ his books In such a way that he has escaped detection for years, knows that figures can be made to lle. The shrewd politician, who knows how to Juggle statistics, be m the truth. But there is another medium of ex- a stickler for truth, greater prevaricator That is a picture. A picture of any person or thing, supposedly, i= an ex- act reproduction of the original, but this is frequently only a wild suppo- sition. The photographer who did not but which than is a and then would soon go out of busi- ness from lack of patronage. Pictures Better Than Words, Pictures have come to occupy a very in recent years, It has been sald that for newspaper purposes a picture which tells its story strikingly 1s worth more than columns of written words on the same subject. Newspapers and magazines have realized the truth of used profusely in (Nustrating the news and fletion of the day No one has been quicker to realize the possibilities of the picture when properiy—or it might be sald improp- erliy—used, than the mail order man. He has realized that a picture will do more to sell his kind of merchan- dise than a column of words and fig- ures, One reason for this is that it is harder to catch a picture in a lle than it is printed words and figures, For instance, if you sell a man a table on the strength of a printed statement that it is 48 inches wide and if when the table reaches the customer it is only 38 inches wide, the customer not only has a moral right to kick, but he has a legal right to accuse the sell. er of obiaining money under false pre- ever, if the wks in a picture +. but which rrival to be only legal grounds aint if the Customer peas "in ble which lk to be nches wide proves no upon a com sell t told him table was in so the 48 in Stick to Truth in Figures. mall many words that hes wide, un order tage of this wer of i VAY. in the acto 1 thelr eatnl have descriptions which qualities and offered, jes of which they to sell, exag appearances but when it measurements are technically Then these concerns rely upon erate the articles inl descriptions given picture will make a prospective buyer than the act. A picture of a wide, attract the eye and will not stop to ual figures given, bed will the reader probably the catalogue to sce whether it is as wide as desired. Fig ures, in the abstract, mean little to the average reader and do not convey the impression that is given in the pic- A former manager of a mail order his concern manipu- lated pictures in this way to suit its purposes. It had pictures of (t= retouched so that the legs seemed to be an inch and a half In di- ameter, when they were really less than an inch. It made narrow beds appear in the picture to be wide and comfortable. Posts of iron beds that were really an inch in diameter were made to appear as if they were three inches In thickness, These things are easy for any competent artist to do. Patrons Had No Recourse. This concern. however, adhered rig- idly to the truth in the measurements included In the descriptions. Custom- ers who found, when they received their goods, that they were not what they expected, could kick, but it would do them no good. The mail order house could show that it had set forth the measurements truthfully in cata- logues, and there was no recourse for the customer, There is no question but that ple tures will lie, sometimes without any manipulation, and the person who Lays an article of merchandise from a pic- ture ig taking big chances, even though the picture is not intentionally altered to give a wrong impression. Any ama- teur photographer knows from experi- ence how the camera often will give a wrong idea of proportions, The only safe method is to buy from the local merchant where one sees the article itself and not a picture of it. The article itself cannot lie about its dimensions, st least, 0.T. CORMAN SPRING MILLS, PA.
