The desirability OF having a committee

HOW SHOPPER BENEFITS
BY THE HERALD'S "ADS"
By Mrs. JOHN A. PHILLIPS.

Shopping to most people Is a matter OF
necessity-to obtain the things which sus-
tain life and BRING comfort. Experience
has taught me that the early hours OF
the day are the best for shopping. Re-
freshed by a nights rest. one feels more
inclined to make purchases. is stronger
more optimistic. has more nerve to buy.
Moreover. judgment is sure to be clearer
as to what one needs and the amount one
ought TO spend.
Physically prepared, mentally alert. 1,
is much easier 10 reach prompt and sat

are unquestionsble and II follows that
the ''last-minute advertising in the morn
ing newspapers" presents supreme ad-
vantage. The shopper knows II Is the
latest possible wOrd-the up-to-the-mi
| ute concession of the merchant based
upon the last market conditions and
business policy OF the advertiser. Conse-
Quently. the intelligent shopper scans the
morning papers advertisements very
closely, no matter what may have been
before. It would be a great oversight not
TO do SO.
The morning paper advertisements also

expects to buy: II helps him to decide be-.
cause II stimulates his desires and forth

financial advantage. however, must be
mentioned. The morning advertiser
