BUYING DON'TS
FOR HOUSEWIVES

In the organization of Com

man says:
Don't be afraid to count your
change.
Don't order oy the dollars
worth, but by quantity. A
dollars worth means that
the dealer can sell you any
quantity he desires. A BUSH
el means that the dealer
must give you full measure,

Don't buy steadily at one
place. The best results can
be obtained by distributing
your purchases.
Don't forget to weigh every
thing you buy at your homes.
Don't let the dealer wrap your

Don't let the dealer rest his

The United States, under existing conditions of compe- tition, has on the whole more than held her own against her chief Euro pean rivals in regard to the chief class of goods which Is in increasing de- mand. We are also purchasing in creasfng quantities of the vegetable and animal raw materials which are assuring more important place among the products that the Pacific countries. have to sell, and we have just passed a tariff act which will fa- clI1tate their purchase.
