Creating by thousands instead of dozens is
economy. The power of advertising justifes
the larger productions-and reduces costs Thus
it is that hundreds of things for domestic use and
personal adornment are put within the reach.of
people of moderate means, that otherwise would
be limited to lifting the burden and gratifying
the tastes of only the rich.
