Wooden Shoes

lITHE peasants in America do not wear wooden
shoes at all, in the felds!'' writes Able
Pierre of Gascony. mo, the peasants there
wear shoes of leather although should think that
sabots would be much more serviceable, not only
on the roads, but blowing. And wooden shoes
are far less expensive. Ah that America is an eX
travagant country!"
Advertisements haven't yet taken the heavy
wooden shoes from Gascon feet-nor yet the heavy
wooden shoes from Gascon minds. Gascony thinks
in the past America in the future.
Advertisements make the difference. They
crisscross improvements in countless directions
across the miles They distribute Fords furnaces
and electric lights 50 widely that foreigners think
you extravagant to enjoy them. They put you IN
touch with the latest conveniences. They help so
many people enjoy those conveneences that their
cost to you is small.
You read advertisements to link yourself with
the best-to substitute speed for the shamblmg
progress you otherwise would have to make IN the
lonely wooden shoes of isolation.
Do you read them regularly? Good habits
pay

Advertisements are a reliable buying
guide obtainable in other way
