they lacked money to fee, the minister,
Mr.. Morrill, offered to perform the GER

Minneapolis, but the United States as

ONE MINUTE TALKS

The thrifty housewife knows that it
pays to read advertisements, and that is
why the great majority Of newspaper adj
vertisers make their 'talks1 to the ''wo-
man Of the house." It is second nature
for a. woman to save. Consequently the
bulk Of the shopping" is If her hands.
The average man buys things quickly; the
average woman takes plenty Of time. She
first examines, then compares, and finally
buys The man saves ter minutes and
the woman $40. Advertisements appeal
to her strongly and she is a constant read
er of them. She not only looks out for
the needs of herself and her house, but
for her men as well. She watches for
bargains for them, gives them tips on the
sales and they buy much at her sug
gestion.
Most rich people are rich because they
are thrifty, and they seldom lay aside
the habit Of commendable saving. A bar
gain is a bargain, and the more money a
| woman has at her disposal, the more bar
gains will she buy. 1t is prominent part
| in her life game, and she ought to be
encouraged to play the game
The woman and the home are insep.
! arable The same is true Of advertising
results and a home circulation.
