NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AND THE
MORAL THEREOF.

Are Americans unthrifty? The accusation
has been often made. Yet every merchant knows
quite well that American women--the majority
of them-are shrewd buyers The big factor in
this thrifty buying is newspaper advertising.
The day is long since gone when the American
housewife careessly SKINNED through the adj
vertisements She recognizes clearly-nowadays
that the advertisements are the best news in
the paper, because they point the way to money
saving.
Live merchants realize this Hence, they strive
TO make their advertising attractive. The more
attractive advertising is made, the more readers
of newspaper advertising there will be, and the
more incentive for the merchant, in his turn, to
prepare attractive copy. It's an endless chain
that spells more business for the merchant and
more savings for the customer.
Modern newspaper advertisements are essen
tally newsy. They discuss prices, qualities and
quantities. They explain price reductions and
the why's and wherefores of bargains" The
shrewd customer can every day effect savings
on his or her purchases.
The American housewife who carefully scans
the advertisements will save money The Sun
has circulation that reaches most of the house
wives of not only Price, but all of the surround
ing towns and mining camps.
