Holding Down the Bills
Is the Housewife's Problems
IN' THESE DAYS OF I'ATUIO'IC
ECONOMY, THE WOMEN ARE
FORCED TO HOLD DOWN ON
THEIR HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.
BCT THEY SHOULD NOT LET
THEIR EI-KORTS BLIND THEM
WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING
DRUCS. GOOD DRUGS AUG
SOMETIMES EXPENSIVE. CHEAP
DRUGS ARE APT TO BE STILL
MORE EXPENSIVE.
WE SELL ONLY GOOD DRUGS
THE KIND THVT ARE EFFEC
TIVE IN CURING SICKNESS AND
DISEASE.
OUR PRICES ARE AS LOW AS
GOOD DRUGS CAN BE SOLD FOR
ANYWHERE.
IT IS POOR ECONOMY TO BUY
CHEAP DRUGS. "QUALITY IS
THE TRUE TEST Or CHEAPNESS."
