H h no wonder that nothing gets people's attention these days as quickly as saving money. One way to really do this effectively was brought out in some recent statistics released by one of the major auto insurance companies. According to their findings the actual cost of operating an automobile is now up to a breath-taking 25.2 cents per mile. That includes gas, de­ preciation, interest costs, re­ pairs, etc. Now with that fig­ ure in mind, let's imagine we are going to try to save mon­ ey by driving, say fifty miles, to make a $75 purchase. Sup­ pose we believe that the $75 Hem can be bought for five dollare less by driving out of town to get it. Do we save five dollars? No. In fact, we effectively lose about $20 since the hundred mile round trip would cost over $25. Doing business locally makes better sense than ever before, you save money and help support our community at the same time. You win berth ways. r i Television takes 20.1 percent of advertising dollars, but U.S. newspapers get still more -- 29.1 percent.
