Listen! This is an advertising para phrase on that old railroad sign: Stop--LookListen. The railroad sign stands for "safety first. So does the paraphrase safety first in spending your hard earned money. STOP when you pick up your newspaper - today - for example and LOOK through the advertising pages. THINK.

But use the advertising for the preliminary guide. The Argus. . I
