Mrs. l\`lelDougall, also that the agree ment was never properly explained to her. 1 am of the opinion, too, ' that as in charge 4 the statement `was made that Pratt & Co. were in . good finam'ial standing and that was L not true. 1 am satisfied as well that ' Mrs. McDoup:all thought she was get- ting one-ninetieth nndivid`ed interest in that property without having to make subsequent payments. With regard to statements 6, 7, 8 I would .l;`.ot undertake to find that they were `such in themselves as \\ support I the false pretences. So that on the whole, having rep:m'd for all the evidence, I am satisfied that the charge as laid has been proved and that the defendant is guilty of hav- ing obtained that $1,000 from Mrs. ;\lr:~Do'up;all by false prretences. \\'as1 )'nn1n51rlnfl fnr en-hfnnl-n THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1933. vv u.uUllL ill]. p1`u.<. his (`l`n\\'n -nnl .1. 1. _ __ , ..,.`....u..v-.

The whole thing was on a di'erent basis. It never, from first to last was contemplated that Pratt & Co. would pay for the property. That was to be done out of the sale of units. The re-sale of the pro- perty was expected to provide the profits in the same way that profits are made by buying wholesale and selling retail. `"l`l1n nnvf M-n+.........4. U :1 VV. 0.

By a-sing,-'-i ular coincidence, Mathews just hap- pened to be in Mrs. l\'IeDoug,'al1 s store at the time and was instructed by Pratt over the phone to get the $1,000 from her. I submit that the telephone con\'er.~:ation must have been on the 21st, as Mrs. McDoug-all says it was. If that is the case, the evidence of Mathews and Sheppard must be absolutely false.

The truth is that most advertisements are incitements to their readers to do or be or buy or use something for their immediate or prospective advantage. Advertisers, to be sticcressful and to live long, have to offer something of value or of denire-S0mf3thin;!,' really wanted or needed by the public. Advertisers, to live long, must not cheat the expectations or condence of those Who buy what they offer or propose.
