Look After Your Subscription Now SPEHDIHO HOHET HISEET Every family of your acquaintance spends about seventy per cent of its in come just for living, according to eco nomic experts. Think what this means—seven dol lars out of every ten invested in food, clothing, household utilities and all the multitude of things that keep a family comfortable and happy. It’s a big job to spend so much money wisely and well. It requires careful business methods to get the best possible returns from each dollar that leaves the family purse. The clever woman goes for help to the advertising columns of her news paper. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants. She com pares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opporunity of judging and selecting almost anything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, in struct and generally bring up her fam- ily. Do you read the advertisements? You will find them willing and able to serve you in the regular business of purchase. Advertisements Are Guardians Of Your Pocketbook. McCORMICK, S. C.
