announce his practice and availability. The form and manner of such
advertising shall satisfy in all respects the dictate and intent of the
Canons. Only those media shall be used as are necessary to reach
directly an interested and potential client or employer, and such media
shall in themselves be dignified, reputable, and characteristically free
of any factor or circumstance that would bring disrepute to the
profession or to the professional using them. The substance of such
advertising shall be limited to fact and shall contain no statement or
offer intended to discredit or displace another engineer, either
specifically or by implication.
