"Are you a fine print reader? Did you ever notice how the high pres sure salesman tries to sell you on the big type and overlooks important words in fine print in policy or con tract? "If your neighbor's house caught fire and the fireman's hose burst wet ting down your premises and caus ing damage, would you be covered under your insurance policy? If you are a fine print reader you would know. Most of us are not and WE WOULD NOT KNOW. "Advertisers should never lose an opportunity to display prices. Two farmers had adjoining road side stands. It was the strawberry sea son and each farmer displayed about the same quality of strawberries. One had conspicuous price signs that could be easily read by passing mo torists; the ether did not have price signs. The first farmer sold his! strawberries juickly; the ether farm er's wife and daughters had to can most of their strawberries. "Avoid using too much fine print in your advertising. Display prices whenever possible. Nev. rpapcr ad vertisements should be real business g: Iters." BURKE IS AT WASHINGTON Washington, August 23.
