"[W]ashes without excuse"? What, does the linen suit say, "Don't wash me, lady, I got medical issues"?

The Dulles brothers were two historic US government figures from the 1950s. And two big-time pipe smokers. Here we meet Foster, the older brother, in a 1946 photo blurb. Foster would go on to become Secretary of State under Eisenhower. And younger brother Allen would go on to build and run the CIA during that same period and into the Kennedy years.
Allen Dulles was a very dedicated pipe smoker, and was typically photographed with a straight billiard or pot jutting out of his mouth. But he was not averse to a bent or cob, either.

"Verily"? Did some copywriter at this ad agency major in Shakespeare? Seems an odd choice over "Truly." You have to wonder why his supervisor, or the client, let it go by.

Looking at the entire blurb, I suspect poetic devices were attempted.

Today’s buyers should heed some of this solid advice not only for homes but vehicle purchases as well.
I know. The old rule of spending no more than 25% of your monthly income for shelter has apparently flown too close to the sun, lost its wings, and plunged into the ocean. As for paying no more than 3 times your expected annual income for a house nowadays? Realtors would laugh at you.
I suspect the second truism is rooted in the first one.
And they want you to spend 33% or more of your *gross* income, not your net! Excuse me, Miss Realtor, but you can't spend your gross income. You never see it! The net is what you have to work with.
