with the things you buy
..... (
dollar you make costs you energy and lots of it. Every
thing you buy costs you dollars and also lots of them. Your main idea
in life is to economize on both of these very important items and make
each of them go as far as possible. , . .
It is right here, that the merchant who advertises helps you. He tells
you the superior qualities of the different things he has for sale, he
points out in plain English the reasons why the price he asks is better.
It gives you an opportunity to make comparisons and investigate quali
ties that wouldn't be possible if they had to be made on the store floor.
It is to your advantage to buy the things that are advertised in
