BABIES are born with but one want—food. When
grow old, their wants again become few—quiet corn-
ers, friendly faces, peace.
But in the years between, me nand women are liv-
ing and developing to the full extent of their pawers.
Then their wants are legion.
People today are wanting and getting more things
that make for complete living than ever before. To
these common needs of every one of the advertise-
ments in this newspaper bring invaluable opportune
ties of satisfaction every day.
It is the function of the advertisements ta enable
you not only to get what you want—but to get the very
best that your money can buy. They help you to decide
which automobile, which set of furniture, which radio
to buy. They assure you that your wants will be more
than met—that they will be wisely and completely
satisfied.
The minutes you spend in reading the advertisements
may bring you years of satisfaction.
