stores aim to reach the same mark.
The woman who studies the ads
would find nothing but amusement

study the ads is essential if a
woman would properly appraise
the service offered to her by the
competing stores.
Even a small shopping errand
may justify a little preliminary
study of the ads. To secure the

worth while.
