SIGHTS-con t t, During this past week known as Advertising Recognition Week, 1 gave a bit of thought to our buying habits. We call ourselves sane consumers, but we could hardly remain objective when analyzing our spending patterns. My allergies are the sentinels of many buying sprees. Regard, less of the wonders of certain cleaners, detergents or facial preparations, I am unable to use them because of Irritants. Once I succumbed to the sooth ing idea of sleeping on satiny smooth drip dry sheets. We bought four and the very first time we put a pair on our bed— I really woke up—with an itch. . I was a mass of weals. My poor husband was staggering sleepily while I changed to the plain percale ones. Armed with a consumer guide and an unflinching armor against advertising psychology—we have bought just as many things as we've wanted--but how can we tell if we truly wanted them— or we were just happy victims of that old devil—advertising.
