Dear Friends of The Social Corner:
have been much interest in the va
rious letters on ways of Making the
Dollar Stretch" and have derived
much good thereby.
Considering the way prices keep
moving up and up and still higher, it is
necessary that the woman of the
family exercise great care in her
marketing, and purchase more sys-
tematically and carefully than ever
before.
In buying canned goods, fbr instance.
she should not only be careful to see
the quality is the best, but that she is
getting quantity as we'll as quality;
and when she has decided on a brand
when she has found it right as to
quality, quantity and uniformity, stick
to it,
Haphazardness is fatal to success
in purchasing. Most women find
this out after they have made a fair
number of mistakes and learnt va
rious small details by means of
laundering. Some women take
rather a pride in being thought un
practical. They are afraid of being
called parsimonious if they aspire to
the real virtue of economy. Manage
ment in marketing is obviously not for
them. But this is a pity, really.
The impractical woman likes long
credit. She may get it, if her hus-
band IL in a position to warrant it.
but it is a bad policy to let bills run
at ALL
The first great axiom in the art of
science of Economy is Pay ready
money for everything" The second
great axiom is Wants must be made
to fit the purse This means, in eff
feet the same as the first rule. The
marketer has to settle before hand
exactly what she must buy, what she
must do without and what it is ur-
gent to have.
