Give Practical Helps

4 S advertising took on this char
~ acter. and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. housewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too. was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.
