Think In Time.

A word of caution even to
the wisest is not amiss at times
The season is approaching
when all people will be making
their Christmas purchases.
The fact that money has
been plentiful for the past few
years has not removed the ele-
ment of caution from our home
people. and neither has il
blunted their desire for eco
nomy.
Caution dictates that we buy
from "A house that is known for
its honesty and its willingness
TO guarantee the quality of its
goods.
Economy requires that quail
/ ty be proportionate TO price.
The home dealer is known
to you. He can not afford TO
sell you a shoddy or inferior
article because il would come
back TO him. He cannot af-
ford 10 gouge you because il
would put him out of business.
Both his honor and his business
safety compel him to give you
a square deal.
Think this over before the
rush is on.
People who think twice be-
fore they buy once seldom
make a mistake.
