in managing the advertising department<br />
of the Christian Nation, and<br />
we must be first convinced that an<br />
advertiser is worthy of confidence<br />

guarantor, nor to adjust petty misunderstandings,<br />

whose account is kept paid up we will<br />
gladly render any reasonable service<br />
in their dealings with advertisers in<br />

investment advertisements of every<br />
kind have been debarred.<br />
