JWhen Husband and Wife
Shop Together
You go to the store to buy, but you can shop in comfort in the home.
The best place to make your real decision about “what we can afford”
and “what we need most,” and “which we will buy” is at your own fireside
—under your reading lamp.
There the feet do not grow tired. The rushing crowds do not destract.
Decisions are unhurried. The husband is not impatient to get away.
It is to help the fireside shopper that newspaper advertisements are
written.
Fireside shopping from advertisements is the most «njoyable- the most
intelligent and the most praxleal form of consumer buying. '1 hen you
visit the merchant you know what you want and why. You buy, pay and
depart. Both you and the merchant saves time.
