student of detail. Thereby it lived

fruits. and vegetables in way that
would seem lavish now. This was
not merely because prices were low

to cost and they bought shrewdly.
AS the country has increased in its
wealth, many families have gotten
away from this thoughtful study OF
domestic economy. Purchases are
made largely by telephone. great
many people have little idea of what
daily necessities ought to cost.
AS prices have advant ed people are
inclined to revert to the careful old
fashioned practices Of intelligent buy.
ing, 1t is here that the newspaper
and its advertising columns become
the greatest single means for evad.

be more than O mere announcement.
Merchants are making it a means OF
educating the public. They give lit.

much OF the high cost of living is
evaded.
