A Thousand YOus

When you pick up your morning or afternoon newspaper and
glance over the advertising you quite unsconsciously multiply
yourself a thousand times.
In half or three-quarters of an hour you can, metaphoricauy
speaking, visit every progressive store in town. You virtually
poke your head into every department of every department store.
You run into the florists, the confectoners, the oculists, the lead
ing grocers, banks, theatres, all the various places that supply the
things that make this the twentieth century and life worth the lW-
ing. Here is a greater choice in clothing, food, furniture, books,
pictures, musical instruments, traveL, entertainment opportunities
for investment, the service of public utility corporations than any
monarch of old could command.
1t would easily take thousand y)us, travelling hard all day. to find
out for yourself what the advertisements tell you in a few MIMI
tes morning or evening.
They deserve your attention. They deserve your confidence,
Without them, without the progressive spirit Of the merchants
and manufacturers who back them, the great abundance Of
things you now enjoy would be a memory-or something still
to be realized. Without advertising the prices you would have to
pay for many of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies
would make a dollar look like a snow ball on the kitchen range.
Read the advertisements. Read them for your own information
and advantage. Read them to encourage the advertisers who are
making these better things possible for you.
