HOW FOOLISH

How foolish it does seem to
put off buying your Spring
clothing just because you may
have an income tax or a Liberty
Bond to pay for, or any one of
the many other things that eat
up your cash and that you can
not possibly do without.
Everybody is short of ready
cash at times.
Most everybody uses their
credit. They do not do without.
They do not put off buying
what they need. They buy
what they want-when they
want it. They know the value
and convenience of a charge ac-
count and they use it just as we
invite you to open and use a
charge account with us.
