Blind Man's ]Buff Even in this age of enlightenmient some fok pend their money blindly hybywt their eyes shut. They grope in the dark as truly as if their eyes were handaged. And a«Il the time a powerýful light is being thrown on the very thingý 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 an-d manufacturers who adver- tise deliberately focus thoiusands of eyes upon their wares. Their values mnust be honest and their prices right, or they could not advertise suceessfully. Don't play blinci man's buif with the elusive dollar. Spend a f ew minutes each day running through the advertisements in this paper. Then buy the products that have proved up in the light of advertising.
