a unique plan for purcuas lg Ford
cars has been, developed and is now
being conducted through Ford deal-
ers throughout Oklahoma by Vander-
sllce & Gaddis Investment Company

For a small payment, down and ad-
ditional payments equivalent to $1

enabled to secure the use of his car
immediately.
The National Bond and Investment
Company is one of the largest financ-
ing organizations in the country.
Its activities are being gradually
extended to cover every state in the
Union.
Through its Oklahoma representa-
tives, Vanderslice & Gaddis Invest-
ment Company, the partial payment
plan of the National Bond & Invest-
ment Company, known as the R. & L.
Plan, is available for every Ford
dealer and every prospective owner
of a Ford car in the State of Okla-
homa.

PICTURES ARENOT
ALWAYSTRUTHFUL
Some Mail Order Houses Find
Them Very Useful in Their
Business.
CAN "DOCTOR" PHOTOGRAPH
Concerns Can Give Wrong Impres-
sions With Illustrations While
Sticking to Truth in
Descriptions.
(Copyright, 1917, Wettern Newspaper Union.)
"Figures never lie," it hiis been
claimed, but this is far from the
truth. The defaulter who has "doc-
tored" his books iu such a way that he
has escaped detection for years, knows
that figures can be made to lie. The
shrewd politician, who knows how to
juggle statistics, knows that they can
be made to tell a story that is far from
the truth.
But there Is another' medium of ex-
pression which is also supposed (o be
a stickler for 'ruth, but which is a
greater prevaricator than figures.
That Is a picture. A picture of any
person or thing, supposedly, is an ex-
act reproduction of the original, but
this is frequently only a wild suppo-
sition. The photographer who did not
make his picture tell a little fib now
and then would soon go out of busi-
ness from lack of patronage.
Pictures Better Than Words.
Pictures have come to occupy a very
important place in tile life of the world
in recent years. It has been said that
for newspaper purposes a picture
which tells its story strikingly Is worth
more than columns of written words
on the same subject. Newspapers and
magazines have realized the truth of
this fact and as a result pictures are
used profusely In Illustrating the news
and fiction of the day
No one has been quicker to realize
the possibilities of the picture when
properly—or it might be snld improp-
erly—used, than the mall 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 hurder to catch a picture In a lie
than It is printed words and figures.
For instance, if you sell a mun 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 30 inches wide, the customer not
only has a moral right to kick, but
he has a legal right to accuse the sell-
er of obtaining money upder false pre-
tenses. However, If the customer
buys a table which looks In n picture
to be 48 inches wide, but which proves
upon its arrival to be only 30 Inches
wide, he has no legal grounds upon
which to base a complaint If the sell-
er has not told him In so many words
that the table was 48 Inches wide.
Stick to Truth In Figures.
Some unscrupulous mall order
houses have taken advantage of this
selling power of pictures In a very In-
genious way. They adhere strictly to
the truth In the actual measurements
given lu their catalogues of the arti-
cles which they have to sell. They
may employ descriptions which exag-
gerate the qualities and appearances
of the articles offered, but when It
comes down to actual measurements
the descriptions given are technically
correct. Then these concerns rely upon
their pictures to sell the merchandise,
realizing that a picture will make a
far deeper Impression upon the mind
of the prospective buyer than the act-
ual figures given. A picture of a wide,
roomy bed will attract the ?ye and
the reader probably will not stop to
measure off the width of the bed as It
Is described In the catalogue to seo
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-
ture.
A former manager of a mall order
house tells how his concern manipu-
lated pictures In this way to suit Its
purposes. It had pictures of Its
chairs 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 dlumeter 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 fonnd, when they received
their goods, that they were not what
they expected, could kick, but It would
do them no good. The mall 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 pic-
tures will lie, sometimes without any
manipulation, and the person who buys
an article of merchandise from a pic-
ture is taking big chances, even though
the picture Is not Intentionally altered
to give a wrong Impression. Any ama-
teur photographer know's 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 He about 161
dimensions, at least

DR. WALTERS CAN
CURE PYORRHEA
DR. A. WALTERS, DENTIST, will

Pyorrhea of the mouth There are
nine-tenth of the people that are af-
fected with this horrible disease.
Pyorrhea-alvolorls Is a disease of
the teeth, gums and also the bone,
(when allowed to go on without
proper treatment). Pyorrhea Is
probably the cause, directly or indi-
rectly of more 111 health than any
one disease. Arthritis, chronic rheu-
matism, appondicltls, nephritis and
endocarditis are some of the ailments
brought on by neglecting to have
your mouth treated. Being a gradu-
ate under Doctor W. M. Crlmshaw
of Atlanta, Ga., a specialist in pyor-
rhea, I use his methods which have
proved to be successful, and will be
glad to have you come in and have
|your mouth examined, which will be
free. If you have a dark deposit on
your teeth and your gums bleed eas-
jily you have pyorrhea. A cure or
no pay. " Respectfully,

A man often forget the exact name
of the article he wishes to purchase,
and as a last resort takes something
else instead. That is always disap-

way is to cut this out and take it

find nothing quite so satisfactory for
constipation and indigestion. For
