Blind Man’s Buff
Even in this age of enlightenment some folks spend their
money blindly. They grope in the dark as truly as if their eyes
were bandaged.
And all the time a powerful light is being thrown on the very
things they need and want.
Advertising is a beacon to guide you in buying. It shows you
what to buy—where to buy—and when to buy. At the same
time, it protects you against fraud and inferiority.
Merchants and manufacturers who advertisk deliberately
focus thousands of eyes upon their wares. Their values must
be honest ana their prices right, or they could not advertise
successfully.
Don’t play blind man’s buff with the elusive dollar. Spend a
few minutes each day running through the advertisements in
this paper. Then buy the products that have proved up in the
light of advertising.
