There is someone In your family
who has big responsibility.
Food to buy for the table; clothes
for the children and grown-ups; new
household utensils, linen, furniture,
books and all the hundred and one
little things for which the family in
come is spent
In most families one person does
the bulk of the buying. And it is
that PERSONS job to see that the mon
ey is well spent-that you all get full
value for every cent that goes out
The success of family depends
on wise buying just as the success of
business does.
Wise buying means intelligent
buying. 1t is necessary to ave
knowledge Of goods and stores.
The best way to get this knowl-
edge is by reading advertisements.
They tell yoH where and when to
buy to advantage.
Not only the person who does
the buying but every member of the
family should read advertisements.
1t is the duty of all the others to help
the one who does the buying by
pointing out advertisements of new
goods and giving all the information
possible as to tastes and styles and
values.
Advertisements are published for
your benefit. Make use of them by
reading them.
