HOW SHOPPERS ARE SOLD.
Instead of Getting Wonderful Bar gains They Very Often Merely
 Buy Inferior Goods.

Very few women know that when they think they have run across won derful bargains in some Of the shops. when, in fact, they know they arr getting certain articles cheaper than usual. because they remember the price paid apparently. for the same thing at other times, they are really paying all that the goods are worth. tor the simple reason that the bargain lot i. what manufacturers call sec ends" To al appearances the sec onds look just the same as the orig inal lot. If they happen 10 be ua- ferwear. gowns or hosiery the mate rial, manufacture and style seem ex- eeilent. but the manufacturer and the buyer know that they are made out of the second choice of material. and ean- not be considered first class. They are originally cheaper than goods that were bought first. and can be sold a. something of a reduction. so that 9.sQ4 out of 10000 customers rejoice in the thought that they have really fogna | bargain, whereas they have paid Iib- srally for what they got. Sometimes underwear that belongs to this lot af seconds is marked very plainly with the word on the inside of the hem or edge. but very few people ever think 10 look for il. or would know what 1t meant if they happened = see it When bargain hunting it .s ! good plan 10 find out just wha, grade of goods you are paving for. aa4 If that plan $ followed t will b sasy to see that the instances where something Is obtained fer nothing ase very rare-Chicago Pest
