It will save you money by pointing out real bargains, by telling you of true values, by giving you prices to compare and by telling you how much you should pay. It will save you time and effort by telling you exactly where and when to go for what you want to buy. You don't have to "shop around." It will save you disappointment by telling you just what you can expect from your purchases. Every time a merchant or manufacturer advertises, he obliges himself to sell you goods that fulfil his claims. He knows it doesn't pay to advertise unworthy wares. Read the advertisements as a plain, every-day business proposition. It is a duty you owe yourself and. your purse.
