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.
