TKere’s always a tight time

"T "T ON’EST merchants are in business to help you with your
i i buying problems. N’ou may reply, “They are in
business to make money!” And, of course, they are.
But the point is: They know that the best way to make
money is to serve you honestly and efficiently.
One of the most valuable services a merchant can render
you is to tell you when to buy. He knows the market. He
is kept informed about raw materials and manufacturing
problems. He gets all the advance tips on styles. He even
knows pretty well what your particular circumstances are,
and what your needs will be.
So, his advice— as offend through his ads in this paper— is
worth mon^y to you. When he announces a special sale,
or displays a new line of goods, it is well for you to in-
vestigate.
There’s always a right time to buy, and the ads in this paper
will keep you posted. Read them and follow their adviccl
