They have put their art quite on a level with fictionpecuniarily. " "Perhaps it is a branch of fiction. " "No; they claim that it is pure fact. My author discourages theslightest admixture of fable. The truth, clearly and simply expressed, is the best in an ad. "It is best in a wof, too. I am always saying that. " "Wof?" "Well, work of fiction. It's another new word, like lunch or ad. " "But in a wof, " said my friend, instantly adopting it, "my authorinsinuates that the fashion of payment temp...ts you to verbosity, while inan ad the conditions oblige you to the greatest possible succinctness. In one case you are paid by the word; in the other you pay by the word. That is where the adsmith stands upon higher moral ground than thewofsmith.
