Your table set without pepper, salt, sugar everything except home-prepared foods. Your life would seem both hard and drab. You would have little comfort or convenience; know nothing of the means to secure them. Unhelped, your own ingenuities would tend to limit your pace. You would progress by limps instead of leaps. You might not progress at all. - Advertisements sweep you on to enjoyments. Read them. Know about advertised products. They give your life new ease.
