Spend Your Own Money!.
Your Own Wav

NOES it not seem strange to you that a
49, dealer who tries to substitute when
you ask for an advertised article, should as
sumo that you are not capable of spending
your own money? Show him that you are
by insisting on getting what you ask for and
refusing any substitute. Substitutes pay him
a larger profit, otherwise he would give you
what you ask for, without question. Manu-
facturers OF advertised articles produce
large quantities, being enabled thereby to
manufacture cheaply and furnish the public
with high-grade goods at the price of in
ferior substitutes.
