there are many opportunities for speech mnl in g, but they enjoy
ft most while engaged in buying and selling.
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. "
