Commission Expires March 30, 1916. 
This country recognizes three grades 
of truth: 
— the truth 
— the whole truth 
— nothing but the truth 
“The Truth” by itself may be false 
because of what it leaves unsaid, or 
because while technically correct it is 
designed to mislead. 
“The whole truth” may be inef- 
fective because it leaves one asking — 
“Well, what are you going to do about 
it?” 
“Nothing but the truth” involves 
a grasp and expression of right funda- 
mentals, rounded knowledge, fair play 
— an irresistible appeal. 
In Chicago from June 20th to 24th 
there will be a convention of The 
Associated Advertising Clubs of the 
World. T1 te standard under which 
this convention assembles is 
“Nothing but the 
Truth in Advertising” 
This is not a sentimental standard. 
It is a commercial standard main- 
tained by the contact of idealists, en- 
thusiasts, and hard heads. 
It is the only standard under which 
the annual expenditure of $600,000,000 
for advertising can be made to pay. 
It is the standard under which 2,000 
people met last June in Toronto and, 
before that, in Baltimore, Dallas, 
Boston. 
It is the standard under which 
every reader of newspapers, maga- 
zines, outdoor signs, booklets, novel- 
ties — the printed or painted adver- 
tising message — has come to believe 
what he reads. 
You are Invited to Attend 
No adult in this country but uses or is affected by advertising. The con- 
vention in Chicago will give you ideas for application to your own business 
and your own life. You will come in contact with the discoverers and pioneers 
in the development of the economic force of advertising — a force which will grow 
with your support as you will grow by contact with it and its workers.
