Its aims are to expand itself

How to Keep Cool, Ca
These Hot August Days
Hot summer days from early July to early
September are frequently termed “Dog Days.”
Modern air conditioning has taken some of the
sting from these sweltering periods but nonethe
less one can get “dog-tired” from a shopping tour.
Instead of beating one’s brains out ... or
baking them, as the case may be ... it certainly
makes good sense to avoid long, hot jaunts and
steaming crowds.
The wise shopper plans her trip beforehand
so that she may make a minimum of stops and
limit her time spent out in the heat of the day.
With so many merchants in the immediate
area handling a multitude of products at a mini*
mum of cost, it is sheer madness to contend with
four and five hour shopping trips.
