No More Dickering!

The possessor Of the loudest voice or the most brazen
cheek used to be able to drive the best bargain. But,
dickering. ~chaffering and hagglng over prices have
gone out Of date.
Simply by glancmg over the advertisements in your
paper you can see where to go for the best buys. You
can compare values and check up prices without even
stirring from your easy chair. You can know in adj
vance just what you are going to get and how much
it will cost. And you can have the satisfaction that
comes from knowing your money is wisely spent.
Nowadays, every one is given an equal opportunity to
buy shrewdly. But there are still a rare few who fail to
utilize the advertisements. Don't be one Of them.
