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.
The intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of tho family revenue!
