It gives us the most priceless feeling in the world: the feeling of being adequately prepared. 0 When we go into a store, prepared beforehand with knowledge of what is offered and at what price, we go as an expert buyer, filled with self-conff- dence. It is a pleasant feeling to have, the feeling of adequacy. Most of the unhappiness in the world can be traced to a lack of this feeling. Thus adver tising shows another of its manifold facets—shows Itself as an aid toward making all our business relationships more secure and pleasant.
