Our attention has been called to an advertisement in a journal called Mutual Professional News, and distributed among physicians and dentists.
“Come to Troutdale—in Maine reads the advertisement. “A vacation paradise for lovers of fishing,” and so forth. Then follows this bait: “Exclusively a Gentile clientele.”
