Cites Their Buying Role.
Women read the advertisements
and do most of the buying" she
said. They don't miss a thing.
In Lockhaven Lney take us over the
jumps when something in the paper
doesn't suit them.
The men, now. are more apt to
get angry. They want to hang
somebody on a limb. They don't
offer anything very constructive
until they cool off anyhow.
Women readers, however, seem
to know what is wrong, and what to
do to correct IL.
After all, what business has a
closer relation to the family than
the newspaper business? The man
may be the head of the house, but
the woman does the buying, and she
usually has pretty good idea about
what the family should read"
