Many do their buying as though they were blind
folded "I'll try this" or "I think this will do." These
have only the vaguest ideas of what they want as they
spend large slices of the family income. Others read
the advertisements regularly and buy with their eyes
open. They know what they want before they go to
buy.
Advertisements are beams of light on merchandise.
They reveal to you the latest and best products and
improvements of the manufacturers and merchants.
Advertisements are a record of progress. They are
interesting and instructive news of the business
world. They light the way to better buying. Read
advertisements regularly and live better at less cost.
Advertisements help you to spend
your money wisely
