Reading the small print on television

Madam, - I notice that the small print, which, we are told, should always be read, now crops up in TV ads

Madam, - I notice that the small print, which, we are told, should always be read, now crops up in TV ads. It skulks at the bottom of the screen, inducing severe eye-strain in those of us who try to read it, and, of course, informs us that the main content of the ad is being economical with the truth.

That, after all, is the raison d'être of small print. - Yours, etc,
