Make Every Dollar Worth More Than a Dollar! An educated ad reader will never be poor. To ''know advertising" is to have a prac tical knowledge of values of things of when and how and whero to buy. No one, having and utilizing such knowledge, could over be unthrifty, or in any sense careless or reckless of expenses. For such knowl edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes ono proof against shams false values manipulated reductions.
