Working For
Your Pocketbook

1t Is the duty of all of us to
use every fair means to protect
our own pocketbooks.
That is thrift in its best sense.
When we spend money we
should be sure that we are get
ting something of substantial
value for 1t.
We should buy with knowl-
edge.
The advertising in this news
paper assists you to this knowl-
edge--it plays an important part
in your we'll being.
1t is the news of the market
place; and by reading and weigh
ing 1t 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 possible.
They realize that it pays TO
know--and to buy-when and
where the opportunity is best for
thcm. And they realize, too. that
they can gain this knowledge
from the advertising columns OF
good newspapers like the Tele-
