No matter how simple and staple the article may be, fifteen minutes is the least that can be taken over a transaction. And then it has been greatly hurried 1 Just imagine if-we hnd to bargain for fifteen minutes over everything we "bought. Yet not so very long ngo, every pur chase was a matter of bargaining. It is thanks to advertising that it is no longer so today. We sometimes forget how important advertising is. We do not realize all it is doing for us. Yet, if it had achieved nothing more than to do nway with bargaining, it would be a boon to mankind. But it does more. It puts purchasing on a business basis. It protects you against fraud and inferiority. You can plan your shopping according' to your pocketbook, and not according to the patience and bargaining ability of everyone you will have to face. When you think it over you must real-, ize thnt it pays to read the advertisements. " THOSE WHO READ WISELY READ ADVERTISING. ' y t t t y ? i t it t5,B Ih a-number of other place, aiw r 2-Year-OU!
