SHOPPING FOR THE BOYS

Every shopper has been impressed
at some time or other with the inn
portance Of having some sort of fam
lily figures, measurements, etc, along
on her shopping trips. Often you see
some unusual bargain that you would
like to get for your husband, or the
small boys, and dare not buy, because
you never can remember the correct
size
For instance. can you tell right oft
the size of hat, collars, or underwear
that your husband takes!
II you will carry some such handy
table as this in your handbag, it will
enable you to pick up many an unex-
pected bargain which otherwise it
would not be safe to buy on the chance
that 1T might do for one of the boys"
