Do not send your money afa>if
the thing you want is to be had in
your home city.
If the automobile thought" il
making any place for itself in your
mind, read the ads. They will in
Short time, educate you as to
characteristics and prices of cars
You'll know one from another
and that's the beginning of auto
mobile wisdom.
Store-news Is home news. Some
thing advertised today finds itself
In your home tomorrow-and the
lad" brings about the transaction.
One Of today's ads may change
some one Of your buying plans-to
your profit
In your buying for the home It
is quite as profitable to KNOW
VALUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
as it is, in ether things, to KNOW
instead Of "blundering through"
The bargain hunter has
evolved into the intelligent buyer
for the home-the woman who eX-
ercises as much ability in eXpend-
ing money as it required in earn
ing 1t.
The woman who studies the ads
KNOWS that she IS paying the
smallest possible price for her pur-
chase. She doesn't just HOPE 50.
The merchant who can protect
you on both quality and price in a
time when both are apt to f1uctuate
unaccountably is rendering you
real service.
Buy at your home city stores as
a matter Of lf-protection-and Of
those home city merchants WHO
ADVERTISE!
The dollar you spend in your
home city store stays in your
home city and SERVES. Tie dol
lar you send away ceases to serve
anybody in the city where you
make your home.
The merchant who is using
larger space in which to give to
you the news of his store deserves
your interested attention. He has
"a reason"-and YOUR INTER
ESTS are invested in that reason.
