expedition was a task calling for the ex­
penditure of a great deal of time and ener­

country. And, after having toiled to the
market places, the shopper had to use un­
usual discrimination to be sure of getting
the things that best suited the family needs.
All that is changed. Paved roads in
city and country make transportation swift,
safe and easy. And advertising is like one
