pers with his price. We consult
these prices before we buy.
Seen in this light, advertising be-
comes the informant that prevents
dishonest sellers from taking advan-
tage of us and our ignorance of
prices we might have to pay.
A recent mystery drama has the
villain contriving to plunge the city
into complete darkness for one
night. so that he and his henchmen
can dash in and make away with
their loot. I'VE who have some
thing daStardly to put over" he OBJ
served, must needs fear the light"
High prices, skinny quality, gyp
products also must needs fear the
light. That is why they are cloaked
IN such phrases as: I'VE don't ad
vertise. We pass the savings along
to you" Why pay the high cost of
advertising? We put it into our
goods" etc, etc.
But the merchant who advertises
uses the light of advertising, and
asks you to compare his goods and
his prices and to find out before Won
buy. You can always pay his price,
because it is the right price. That
you know because the protective
power of advertising has told you
that it is.
And this protective power of ad-
vertising is working for you eyery
time you unfold your newspaper and
read an advertisement. That black

what is called the law of supply

This law teaches us that when
the demand for anything exceeds
the supply. prices go up. Converse
ly, when supply is plentiful but de-

how can we as customers know that
this law won't be tampered with
and men, shrewd, scheming and
selfish, step in and raise prices and
gouge us by making us pay them?
They could, you know. and we would
not be any the wiser.
Our safeguard against this is the
advertising we see in the newspa-

The damage caused by the snow
storm of last week was slight, ac-
cording to a consensus of opinion
among extensive peach growers in
Sussex County. The fact that the
buds were not open saved the crop,
it was believed. Had the trees
been in full blossom, untold dam
age would have occurred. Grow
ers say there will be harvest to
supply the Baltimore, Philadel-
phia. Chester, and Wilmington
markets, unless there are killing
frosts within the next ten days.
The deadline for damaging frosts
in lower Delaware has been set at
April 25 for many years. Other
fruits, it is stated, are safe.
