SHAVING MONEY

Atlanta Business Man Tells How

"People who complain of the high

a well known Atlanta business man,

would consider the question of waste
more seriously now and then.
Il clothe myself annually with the
money 1 save in one direction only.
1 shave myself. and that saves me
something like SIS every year.
Three hundred and sixty-flve
shaves a year would cost me $54.75
per annum. To that amount. how
ever, would be obliged to add some
thing like 25 cents a week for tips.
or my shaves would be unbearable-
another item OF S1s annually. The
interest on the money 1 would spend
for shaving amounts to another So
not a big item, but # counts in the
total. I figure that to this total OF
S66.75 1 might add another $40 for
the time I would lose in a barber
shop, for find that can shave my
self from one-half to one-third quick
er than 1 can get shave in a barber
shop, and I have the additional ad-
vantage Of being able to pick my
shaving time at home.
II am not an extravagant dresser,
and the SIS 1 save on shaving pays
my clothing bill every twelve months.
I might shave less frequently than
once a day, but it would be poor econ
omy. 1 find that a neat appearance
helps me wonderfully in my bust
ness.
LAS said before. much OF the com
plant Of the high cost of living would
be done away with, If people only
would cut out the waste of money
they indulge themselves in habitual-
ly. There are other ways in which 1
