Mr Bailey's mental condition has become such that his committal to the hospital is deem~ ed best for him “ALL WOOL AND A YARD WIDE!” That time honored expression means more these days than it used to mean, ‘Wien you see it in the adver- tisement of a reputable merchant You know it is an exact state- ment of fact, not a catch-phrase. Advertisers nowadays plan to build business—not merely to make immediate sales. They know that a carelessly made statement would come back to plague them, so they weigh their words carefilly, There is no news that goes into the newspaper that is more carefully edited or held to more ironclad statements of fact than the advertising of reputable mer- chants. As a big merchant expresses the general sentiment, “Money spent to advertise a lie is worse than money thrown away. It is money spent for a sword by which you must cummjl business suicide.” P.
