GRANTING a woman’s reputation for wise buying, let’s
trace the methods by which she has earned it. Where
does she find out about the advantages and details of
electric refrigeration? What tells her how to keep the
whole household clean—rugs, floors, bathroom tiling—
and have energy left over for golf and parties? How
does she learn about .new and delicious entrees and
desserts that surprise and delight her family? And
where does she discover those subtleties of dress and
make-up that a man appreciates but never understands.
Why, she reads the advertisements. She is a consist-
ent, thoughtful reader of advertiements, becouse she
has found that she can believe them and profit there-
by. Overlooking the advertisements would be depriv-
ing herself of data continuously useful in her job of
Purchasing Agent to the Family.
For that matter, watch a wise man buy a car or a
suit or an insurance policy. Not a bad shopper himself?
He reads the advertisements too!
We are loading and shipping dai-
ly and paying highest market prices.
By all means see us before you sell
your cotton seed.
