This com mission should examine each claim nnd Greatest, Grandest and Finest Each year advertising becomes more believable as advertisers get a little older. Most lies are told by children, not with the intent to deceive, but inspired by the seeming necessity for securing emphasis. The new advertiser wants to attract attention in a babel of voices, all demanding a hearing. So he shouts and screams and bellows with best of intention and with little result. He means no harm, but just wants to be heard and doesn't realize that his voice is cracking. , As he grows older, he learns that red, after all, has only 60 of the strength of black, and that to be believed is more than just to be heard. Don't you agree that as advertising grows older it grows milder and stronger? Advevtis'mz space in the Butlerid publicatioht is for sale by accredited advertising agencies.
