The eastern teams of che National
Leauge ended their season yesterday
with double-headers in New YORK be-
tween the Giants and The Philadelph-
las and in Brooklyn between the SUI
perbas and the Boseon Braves. BY
agreements of the clubs, the last
games in Brooklyn and New York,
scheduled for coday. have been ad-
vanced to yesterday and will be play
ed of in the double bills, thus fin
ishing the season one day earlier than
scheduled.
Both the Braves and the Giants are
particularly anxious go end the sea-
son today in order 60 get a short rest
before the ~post-season series in which
they will take part. This arrange
ment was made possible by the fact
that little depends on the games, as
the Braves have had the pennant
cinched for n week and the Giants
cannot be d~islodged from second place
now.

PREPARATION FOR
CLOSE Buying

III a business man has an important
purchase to make, he looks in the
market news OF his trade paper to
see what the prices are. and what the
chances are that the market will rise
or fall. Then he is in a position to
know how far he 4 bargain with a
salesman.
One OF the principal reasons why
household buying used to be unscien-
tific was that 1t IA conducted with
out this preliminary preparation. A
customer went into a store, and if she
saw something she liked, she bought
ii on the spot. But very likely the
store mex door was Offering the same
goods for 20 per cent less money.
This principle is so thoroughly real
lied today that most people urn TO
the newspaper advertising before
making purchases of Importance.
Market and trade conditions change
SO rapidly, that it is not enough for a
customer TO hare general intelligence
about shopping. The good purchase
of today is the bad one of tomorrow.
The news of the stores needs TO be
followed from week to week in the
newspaper advertising.
