How Much
Is A Dollar and a Half ?
Dave Hartim said, “When you get hold
of ten dollars get it into you or onto you
as soon as you can, for there ain’t no pockets
in a shroud, and you’re a long time dead.”
If you had nothing but money you
would be poor indeed. It is the things for
which you can exchange the money you
earn that set the standards of your living
comforts and conveniences.
You know this. But do you know that
it is you who largely determine the value
of your dollar?
Many things contribute to the distance
a dollar will go, but the greatest agent in
“value received” is ADVERTISING.
The advertisements in this paper tell
you about the best grades of merchandise.
They tell you where they are and for how
much.
They tell you of the new things that
manufacturers are producing to make
your dollars of real worth to you in greater
comforts, better living, more enjoyment-
Start the year right. Read the adver-
tisements. Take time to save time. Read
and save walking. Search the ads to save
searching the stores. And to make the
dollars go farther. Start the year right.
