PHONE MAIN 000 What must; a young girl know before ? marriage j There is a true story told of an ingenious Budapest bookseller who faced with hard times advertised that he had for sale a volume of in formation indispensable to a young girl contemplating matrimony. He said that in this book would be found not what every young girl is told before marriage but what she will find it indispensable to know. Thousands sent their mail-order s. Then complaints began to .pou r in. Finally an outraged man brought the bookseller into court. He stated that he had sent for one of these compendia of indispensable in formation . .. .&hd that he received by mail a 19th Century Cook-book "Lazy Little Lulu Learns Cookery." He wanted the bookseller - found guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses . . . . ','...''' ' ' -1 But the judge acquitted him, saying that he was in thorough accord wjth the bookseller's view that a knowledge of cooking was of primary importance to the prospective bride. ' The modem newspaper could be advertised truthfully in very much the same way. The most indispensable knowledge to a young wife is knowing Where and what to buy . . . how to get the most for her money . . . how on a limited budget to kefep her home fresh, new, attrac tive . . . how to dress herself and her children, inexpensively yet in the very latest styles . . how to serve on her table foods of the most de pendable quality. In other words the advertising that appears every day in your local newspaper Contains information of real value . . . NEWS! An nouncements of the latest and best in the shopping world. This is indispensable information to every woman,, especially to those with families. It helps them run their homes successfully. Surely that is what every woman must know.
