The Family
Market Basket

These are sad days for the family market basket
Many events seems TO have cOnsptred to bring about higher
prices, and the careful housewife must be wide awake to make
ends meet. She can not afford to purchase haphazard. She must
have the best available information of products and prices.
In these days The advertising columns Of a live newspaper like
the Herald are Immensely valuable.
They are the public market place. They keep a woman Informed
as to the greatest purchasing power Of her dollar.
The woman who uses newspaper advertising for her guido Is
more apt to get 100 cents plus for her dollar than her neighbor
who shops haphazard.
