A Little Talk About Values By JOHN P. FALLON. You value things by their use fulness, beauty, intrinsic worth sentimental worth, or historic worth. You value mo«t of the things you buy first by their utility and second by their pleasing qualities. Some things are Intended for service, others simply to look at and admire, while many things have both a useful and orna xmental value. Take two articles alike in form but much different in quality. One may be a real bar gain at a dollar while the other would be dear at fifty cents. The reaßon for this is that the article of superior quality will give three or four times the service, wear, satisfaction and usefulness. In order to get the best value that money can buy one must exercise Judgment. Vou need have little doubt, however, of the values offered by the merchants who advertise In THE HERALD. These mer chants are known by the values th' y give. They know that a reputation for honest values is their most valuable asset and strive to give their customers the greatest values obtainable. R.-ad their advertisements In THE HERALD closely and con stantly every day and then you will have little need to worry about valuesi
