MARKETING
SERIOUSLY
BY Loretto C. Lynch

W AVE you ever taken marketing
seriously? OF course every
- woman who keeps house has
to buy provisions. But too many
women run into the nearest store
at the last moment and buy anything
at all for the meal. This Ia the most
expensive way Of doing ones mar
keting.
Much time and labor and anxiety
are saved II the meals are planned
on paper for at least a few days
ahead. Then one knows just what
shall be needed. Potatoes, rice, win
ter vegetables, canned goods and
things that do not spoil easily may
be purchased at one time and then
set aside. Fish when 1t is fresh
spoils easily and II is best to shop
for this at the last moment or IL 1t
is purchased in advance, 1t must be
covered with sufficient cracked ice
/. TO keep 1t.
But In marketing for anything it
is best to go to the store yourself.
Select for yourself the article you de-
sire to purchase and inquire its price.
Allow yourself sufficient time to
visit other stores and inquire the
by careful comparison of quality and
weight or measure and price that we
may know which shop Is really the
cheaper.
You are entitled to all the trim
mings of the piece Of meat you
buy. The butcher trims off these
and sometimes removes the bone
and throws them into a box under
the counter. These are sold to
someone else. Even O small amount
Of trimmings and a bone will be
enough for the basis Of a soup for
two.
Hand-to mouth living or buying
is to I've deplored. Unfortunately.
some must live this way But
many who run accounts might do
much better II they made an effort
to get together two or three dol
lars in cash and then shopped
where the very most can be gotten
for the money.
Whenever possible, buy in bulk,
and not In fancy packages. Food
that is wrapped in attractive look
ing packages must Of necessity cost
more. Buy by the pOund-that Is.
Ioose--in bulk anything which must
be cooked before being eaten. This
includes the cereals. the dried
fruits and many other articles of
the diet. 1t is perhaps better to
choose foods in packages II they
are to be eaten without further
cooking. An example Of this type
of food is the cracker or cookie.
Study your bills, for every care
full housewife sees to II that she
gets a bill with each purchase, or
at least she writes down what she
purchases and how much 1t costs.
Careful marketing will reduce bills
anywhere from 10 to 20 per cent In
a given time.

laugh at her openly.

Then of a sudden he grew serious
again, for his thoughts were swing

behind him.
He himself had been callow and
cramped and narrow, and Torrle

Then he remembered what she had

and how too much monotony might

of the liveried servants only seemed
to accentuate, he Weakened to a real
ization that her confession had not
been without its causes.
She seemed an infinitely fragile
and isolated figure muffled in the
over-voluminous tapestry of tradi-
ton, tapestry too unwideldy to be
draped as she wished. She stood
forlornly involved in the compli-
Gated agencies Of comfort which
failed to bring comfort, as oppress-
ed by their meaningless ramifica-
lions as a songsparrow intimidated
by the drope of a machineshop.
And in her only too plainly, was
awakening some need for rhapsody.
some call of the soul for It's human

Storrow, as he stared across the

chair, found something solemnify-
