Some Mall Order, Houses Find Them Very Useful in Their Business. , CAN "DOCTOR" PHOTOGRAPH Concerns ba -n Give Wrong Impres- .Ions With 111ustratloije While Sticking tom Truth In • Descriptions. (Copyright.) "Figures never lie," it has been claimed, but this is far from the truth, The defaulter who has "doc- tored"'his books in such a way that he has esoaped 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 expression which is also supposed to be a stickler for truth, but which is a greater prevaricator than figures. That is a picture, A picture of any person or thing, supjosedly, ie an exact reproduction of the original, but this is frequently only a wild supposition. The photographer who did not make his picture tell a little fib now and then would soon go out of business from lack of patronage. This concern, however, adhered Pictures Better Than Word.. rigidly to the truth its the measure- ments included in the descriptions. Pictures have come to occupy a Customers who found, when they re- very important place in the life of ceived their goods, that they were the world in recent years. It has not what they expected, could kick, been said that for newspaper pur-, but it would do them no good.

Any amateur photographer man. lie has realized that a picturejknows from experience how the cam - will do more to sell his kind of mer- era often will give a wrong idea of chandise than a column of words andiproportions, figures: One reason for this Is that, The only safe method is to buy it harder to catch a picture in a from the local merchant where one lie than it is in printed words and fig -laces the article itself and not a pie - urea.

Some unscrupulous mail order izouses have taken advantage of this selling power of pictures in a very ingenioes way, They adhere strictly to the truth in the actual measure- ments given in their catalogues of the articled'wirieh they have to sell. They may employ descriptions which ex- aggerate the qualities and appear- ances of the articles offered, but when it comes down to actual measure- ments the descriptions given are technically correct. Then these con- cerns rely upon their pictures to sell the merchandise, realizing that a pic- ture will.liiake a far deeper impres- sion upon the mind of the prospec- tive buyer than the actual figures given. A picture of a wide, roomy bed will attract the eye and the reader probably will not stop to measure off the width of the bed as it is described in the catalogue to see whether it is as wide as desired. Figures, in the abstract,. mean little to the average reader and do not con- vey the impression that is given in the picture. A former manager of a mail order house tells how his coneorninanfpu- lated pictures in this way to suit its purposes. Pictures of its chairs were retouched so that the legs seemed to be an inch and a half in diameter When they were really less than an inch. It made narrow beds appear in the picture to be wide and com- fortable. Posts of iron that were real- ly an inch in diameter 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.
