SPEAKS THE
Prophet of Profit
THE crystal is clearing. I see a dark man. A very
dark man. You are paying him some money, and he
is giving you something. No, I can't see what it is.
Sometimes it looks like a thimble. Sometimes it looks
like an automobile. I see by your smile that you think
you have a bargain. I know by his smile that you
have not.
Now he is leaving his store. He is going to dinner
and the theater. Then he will go to the club. He is
doing himself well on your money. The article you
bought? Too bad. A blind bargain. N
But the scene changes. The dark man is gone. You
are reading the advertisements in this paper. You
know the honest prices, the quality brands. You are
finding where to buy. You are getting your money's
worth . . . and more. You have discovered that adver
tisements are your true prophets of profit!
