When An Editor Told the Truth
A West Texas editor got tired of
being called a “liar” because of an
occasional typographical erroF or
slight disarrangements of the facts
in publishing a common place news
item. In his wrath, he announced iit
bold face type as follows;- . —
“A lot of people in this town fall
out with the, editor and brand him
as a liar when" the ordinary human
mistakes of life show up in a news
paper. You have a little charity and
fellow k feelin’-for every man in town
but your editor. You claim that you
want the facts, and d—d if I don’t
give 'em to you. Read the next issue
of this sheet and you’ll see some
facts with the hark off. Ill admit
that I have been a liar, an editorial
liai'xever since ! have been editing
♦ N 4
this sheet, hut I have never printed
a lie in these eolumns except to save
somebodv’s feeling from being hurt.
I am not afraid of any of you and
IT! he : da<l blamed, if” I don’t print
the plain truth from now on, oh until
you get out of the habit of exiling
me a liar every Ume I make some
|itt!e unavoidable typographical er
ror. Watch my smoke.”

from the next issued*

now resides at the home of his wife’s
father and says that he has no
definite plans for the future, ilusie

— The result—^^more than twice
as many Packard Six cars
were sold in 1925 as in 1924.
Seventy percent oT the Pack
ard Six cars sold in 1925
were bought faf those who
never before had owned a
high grade motor car.
Thousands of these new
owners bought their cars on
the payment plan, the aver
age payment seldom exceed
ing $150 per month.
you have a car at present,
please let us examine it. If
Jt is marketable we will
apply our purchase price
against the. down payment
on a new car. •
And those who bought, and
who if necessary made any
sacrifices to get their cars,
have no payments to make
this year—or the next—or
the next.
The average Packard Six
owner expects to keep his
car nearly three times as long
as the car he traded in.

And he will. Ninety-eight
per cent of those who bought
Packard Six cars during the
past six years have never
left the Packard family.
Thousands who wanted*
Packard cars last spring could
not get them. The demand
was far greater than the
supply.
One sure way to get a Packard
Six this spring is to order
it now. —
Many bought Packard Six
cars last year without pay
ing out more than. $200 in
cash at any one time.
May we tell you more about
the Packard Six and the
financial ease with which
you may have one?
Packard Cars are now being sold on the basis of the
new tax rat. The new five-passenger sedan now de
