IF YOU read only the stock and sporting pages, and your wife is like other women, she is wiser thr n you. She reads the shopping news'. She likes to hear you jingle money in your pockets. She likes to stretch money to the limit, so she won t have to ask for more. She likes to shop strategically. Know what she does. Comfortablv at home in a cushiony armchair, she scans advertising columns. She compares, judges and selects the goods she desires; maps her route; with least effort and minimum time, goes direct to the planned store and buys. She obtains what she wants at the lowest price it is offered. She is certain of full satisfaction, for she knows advertised goods live up to their claims.
