The word "ulloy' is derived from a
literal Angl'ci2ation of the French
phrase "a la lui"--"uccurding to law"

The unit in buying is the family rather
than the individual. In the United States
there are 1851 ,676 families. But not all
of these families are able to choose their
goods by brand or quality; some lack
money, others lack ability to read under
standin9ly, still others do not appreciate
quality merchandise.
In 1919 only 5,332,760 individuals de-
clared incomes in excess of $1,000. Since
in some families more than one individ-
ual declared an income of $1,000, the
number of families represented by these
