No. 2

Not merely do the stores of a
town like ours assemble the pro-
duets of the wide world at your
very doors but they save the pub
lie an enormous amount of time
To get these goods from all
over the earth, it would formerly
have been necessary to visit the
nearest large city. You would
have to take a part or the whole
of a day and visit some great
emporium. There millions of
money are invested. land the
complex system is operated on
the high scale of expense that
burdens metropolitan trade. The
cost of the thing to you is not
merely what you pay for the
article. 1t is YOU car fare, the
dinner in the city, and most OF
all, your time.
The home store lays down the
article from Egypt or Australia
or India on the counter at the
price the same thing will cost
you in the big city. And even
if you paid a good deal more for
it, you could afford to. For you
have bought it without loss of
your valuable time and without
any Incidental expense.
