could really learn things about COM

spending needless hours of "shop-

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

she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff

fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
