Are You a "PrOCraStinatOr"
About Your CIOthes-And
Abuut Nothing Else?

The "wait-a-while policy
is not good inyour business.
It's not good in your social
affairs. You are not a "pro-
crastinator" in any affair
which you consider impor-
tant.
Why are you in the mat
ter of buying your clothes
Why defer the matter I'M
til all other things have been
attended to? Is it because
you think the other things
more important Or
WHY is it? Think it over
and then get interested
today.
