Enclo»ed find an advertisement of a type common in the papers.Will vou tell me just what in your opinion the store means by "value"?

M. B. B.

"Two hundred bl*ue serpe suits; value $30.00, now $15.00," is the oiler

v hich aroused the spirit of inquiry within the soul of M. E. B. Wha',

fog the merchant mean by it? is the question. Let us put it to the test

if query and answer and see if we can discover.

Q._Does the merchant mean by the term "value $30.00" that the

¡.iticle is now worth $30.00? A..No; for that would be a t-oi.fpssi.in of

his own mercantile incapacity in being obliged to sell it for half the real

vaorth.Q..Does he mean that it was nr.ee worth $30.00? A..Presumably

he once thought it was worth $30.00. He had a right to his opinion. The

public didn't think it worth $30.00. They had a right to their opinion,pnd their opinion prevailed, since they left two hundreds suit« on his

hands.Q..Assuming that it was once worth approximately $30.00, why

should it be worth less now? A..Because styles change and values

change with them.Q..Doea the advertiser admit, then, when he offers the suit for $15.00

that it is worth only $15.00? A.~-Practically. That is, he believes and

lopes that it will be worth $15.00 in the eyes of his patrons. If not, hs

"-.a«* the option of reducing it still further.

Q..Then the proposition "value $30.00, now $15.00," i*s a contradic¬

tion in terms? A..Certainly. Put it to this test: The merchant across

the street from this advertiser has a stock of the same suits, and, takinghis rival's statement of value as a basis, endeavors to sell the stock at

f,30.00. Is he giving value, when the public could buy the same goodst pposite for $15.00?

Q._Then what the advertiser means is: This suit which was once

n ale for $30.00 cannot now be sold at that price, as it is no longe**

worth it; but is now hypothetical^ worth $15.00, the price at which it is

t ffcred. A..That is substantially what the merchant's proposition re¬

duces to.

Q..Then why doesn't he say so? A..Because he still believes that

the buying public doesn't want or appreciate the truth.

There il a substance by the name of Odo-ro-no sold in the various

drug stores of the city. It i« to be used for the stopping of per.-pira-tion. According to my liguring the preparation must cost the tirm

..bout $0.10, bottle and all. Considering that advertising did cost quitra bit, Still I cannot see bow they can charge SI a bottle. I understandthat to perspire is very healthy and any attempt to stop it wouldresult in stopping up the pore?. I would be very grateful if you wouldprint thin in vour pood column. It is possible that I may be mistakenin the value of th- great Odo-ro-no. HARRY EPSTEIN.

The contents of a $0.50 bottle of Odo-ro-no are estimated to cost two

rents; therefore, Mr. Epstein's calculations are too generous. But far

more serious than the cost is the nature of the nostrum. Its very purpose¡a harmful. Perspiration is a natural and beneficial function, and any

attempt to check it artificially is fraught with danger. "The Journal of

the American Medical Association" declares Odo-ro-no (which is an alu¬minum chloride preparation) to be "both fraudulent and dangerous."

f R ferring to l;. 8.'s letter to the Ad-Visor on Monday. Aagtl.'. 1916, relative to the use of superlative«« in advertising copy and to

the Ad-Visor's opinion on why loud-voiced claims in this one case

are not an absurdity.What do vou suppose is the reader's conclusion when he sees two

advertisers shouting "The Best," "The Largest" and "The Coolest"?If it comes under the head of "custom," then it sorely must be

that "custom" should allow Finkelstein to do business in his own

sweet way; should permit the Sample Shot Store to shoe simple souls,and throw down the bars for department stores with their daily"marked down saleV

Our company found that advertiser« used the superlativa care-It -ly; many adver'rr-or«. who .i-,» our advertising pi.ges ni.l they Via i

never given the question any thought, but when we called three" com¬peting manufactorers' attention to the absurdity of using superlativeclaims in their advertising copy they thanked us »nd immediatelytoned down their natuial optimfam. All it needs is a little censorshipof copy- a letter of explanntion-the advertiser will see the point,« ven II custom does giw him a "certain latitude of description "

A. F. ASHBACKER.

Mr. A.-hbacker miare**.- the Ad-Visor's comment on the C. B. S. let¬

ter, as the opinion was therein expressed that the loud-voiced claim un¬

der discussion was an absurdity. Furthermore, the paragraph concludedar follows: "In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the superlative inadvertising is an absurdity, and therefore defeats its own end." I am

dad to have the support of an expert like Mr. Ashbacker, who as manager« 1 the Copy Service Department of the company which publishes "The

Railway Age Gazette," "The American Engineer* and "The Signal En¬gineer," has the opportunity of making his theories practical. It is t.\-

} erts litit* him, not afraid to criticise their own advertising patronage.vho elevate standards. The man who makes one blade of statement..»row straight where two grew crooked before is a benefactor of trade.

«>f Mr. Samuel Kothberg and his store in Plainfield N. J.. the Ad-\ i»"r knows little beyond the fact that their business is a prospering'.ne. And it is building success on this kind of advertising:

OUR TWO STOCKS.We sell Clothing; we sell Fixings and "Most

Things Men Wear." This is our visible stock.the stock we sell over the counter.

But we have another "stock" which we are

equally proud of. And that is our Character, our

Reputation, our Method. These things go intoevery transaction.FREE. And while they are

small things to look for, they are great thingsto find.

There is but one reason to patronize Roth-berg's Store, and that is: We sell the best possiblegoods at the lowest possible prices.and yourmoney back if you don't think so.

Fortune for Cure.

Rex Lee Paris, to cure who:.« illnesssupposed to have been tuberculosis$1,000,000 was offered to Dr. Fried¬

rich F. Friedman, the (îerman special¬ist, in 1913, h ii i obtained a di /orcefrom hi.« wife in Seattle. Thin was

learned last night from hin mother,Mr.«. John W. Paris, wife of the realestate dealer, of Kisscna Park, Flush-

| ins*. The divorce was obtained a fewdays ago.

Mrs. Kcx I.ee Pnris was «/era KstelleF'n-H.v, daughter of Chartas F.. Finlay,;wh . was president of the ,/Ktnii Na¬tional Hunk before it béfame part ofthe Broadway Trust Companv. Ilelives at Kensington, (»rent Neck, LongIsland. It was Mr. Finlay who madethe offer to Dr. Friedman when he be-lieved his son-in-iaw would not live.The Parises were married on October

25, 1911. at All Saints' Protestant Epis-' copal Church, Great Neck, but soon

after the ceremony the bridegroom be-came ill. His family physician, afterdiagnosing*, prescribed a change ofclimate. Paris went to the Adiron- jdacks, where he was provided with allUm luxuries money could purchase andwhere his young wife was constantlyat his side as his nurse.Just about this time Pr. Friedman

came to this country, exploiting themerits of his turtle serum, which was

later found to be a failure. Theanxious father-in-law made his $1,000,-

j 000 offer and the specialist spent sometime with Pari.«. Later, when askedwhether he had been treated by Dr.Friedman, Paris said: "I prefer not totalle about him. It's all tommyrot."

After he had spent some time in theAdirondack« Mr. Parrs went campingin Washington, where he lived In theopen for ¡some time. Meantime, in May.1913, his wife, who had been hi.» con-,

stant aid while he was endeavoring torecover his health, had been attackedby illness ami had returned to herfather's home.

In September. 1913, Mr. Paris came

back to Flushing entirely well, and '

then it was announced that he and hiswife had separated. He admitted this,saying that her love had cooled whenhe became hick and was obliged to

stay out of doors. When Mr. Finlaywas asked about the matter he replie«l:"I do not see why a father should nottake his daughter home when she is

Brisk 100-Yard Sprint."Skimpo" Murray, who originated

the "Delivery Boy Gang" a cleverband of thieves who rob apartmentsduring the summer months when ten¬ants are away has been wanted by thepolice for a year or more. Yesterday-he was caught in company with Mickey-Duffy, one of his minions, while mak-

ing a foray on a flat at 111 WestNinety-eighth Street.They were taken to the 1th Branch

Detective Hureau. and it is betteredthat their confessions will enable thepolice to solve the mystery of fortyburglaries in .'.iverside Drive and Cen¬tral Park West apartmentE..New York became too highly charged

for "Skimpo" last yeur after nis manyplundering« so that he made his wayto Salt Lake City. Utah, on freighttrains. But when August came aroundagain the artful dodger recalled whateasy picking Gotham afforded and hedetermined to get some of the loot.He returned and, to his sorra*** a» it

proved later, decided to ply his oldgame with Mickey of the clumsylingers.. They bought baskets andaprons, such as grocery boys use, pur¬chased some vegetables, and enteredthe basement of the Harlem Courtapartment. The trick is to ring thebells and when they discover an un¬

occupied flat, enter it by way of thedumb waiter.

Mrs. Henrietta Marbe's bell, on thesecond floor, was not answered, so tieypulled themselves up the shaft andbroke in. They gathered silverwarevalued at $2,500 in no time and were

packing it in their baskets, whenMickey blundered. He dropped a heavypiece on the floor.This crash aroused the Fink family

below, who knew that Mrs. Marbe wa«

away. Immediately they told the ele¬vator boy to call the police, and Inthe mean time barricaded the base¬ment door of the dumb waiter. Forsome reason Skimpo peeped out of a

front window before he was ready to

depart, and drew back in astonishmentwhen he saw the street crowded withupturned faces."Gee, Mickey," he said, "there's a

mob out there waitin' fer us! Some¬body's on."They scurried into the shaft and low¬

ered themselves, only to tind the doorfastened. So they hoisted each otherto the first floor, opened that dumbwaiter door, and were confronted by-Mrs. Fink and the baby. Mrs. Finkscreamed. %
