merchandise gives some indication
of its value on the market. The
cost to you is what you will have
to give up in order to get an item.
Often, individuals have the price

mine who recently bought a new
Cadillac.

are for the rich. He has made no
preparation for college education
for his children.
1t is very unwise to contract to
purchase one of the most expen-
sive cars manufactured when his
material resources are so small. AL
though he has the price, he can't
afford the cost By paying SO much
of his income for the pleasure of
an expensive car the welder has to
eve up too much. The car is cost

When person puts such a large
amount of his limited resources in
an expensive car, he can't have
security. An accident or a few sick
days for him or any of his family
would be tragic.
The Cadillac will undoubtedly

his children. 1t is becoming in
