' EVEN in rciuola icgious,. tlio oncc-fumiliar figure of the pcf(llcr is nti-cly yeun. n tlic cities the brass luiigecl 'liuekstei' has practically disappeared. - Advertising lias banished those outworn hangers-on of trade. Through advertisements, women learned dis content with the limited choice offered by the pedcjler's pack and the huckster's cart. Advertising teaches vis to be inOre exact in judging values; to require things to measure up to Ijctter stand- ards; to malc better use of every cent we spend.. Advertising hag done away with haphazard choosing by showing how wide and precise -a choice you really can have. Haphazard buying is going the same route. People who; read advertisements know what is what--and they make sure they get it at the right price! y y y y y y y y y ! ? I y y y ; Specials Flashlights : ' Lunch : Kits Alarm Clocks Skala Hdw.
