WORKING FOR
 YOUR POCKET BOOK

It is the duty of all of us to use every fair means to protect our own pocket books.
 That IS thrift in it's best sense.
 When we spend money We should be sure that we are get ting something of substantial value for it.
 We should buy with know1- edge.
 The advertising in this news paper assists you to this knowI- edge-it plays an important part in your well being.
 It is the news of the market place; and by reading and weighing it you are equipped to buy to the best advantage.
 Women long ago learned the value of advertising, because they have the large part of the family income to spend and must make the dollars go as far as possi ble.
 They realize that it pays to know-and to buy-when and where the opportunity is best for them. And they realize, too, they can gain this knowledge from the advertising columns of good newspapers like The Bulletin.
