your dollar
A Dollar Bill will not buy a? much as it did a
year or so ago. This is all the more reason for
making your dollar s-t-r-e-t-c-h to its utmost
buying power.
To get the biggest value for your money
you must keep posted on everything you buy.
Read the advertisements in The Herald and
you will know—from day to day—just what
to buy and how much to spend. A new dress
for Her; a new suit for Him; new foods for all
the family; improved electrical gadgets that
make housework easy; radio sets that bring
music and news from all parts of the world;
new cars and new face creams—all are ad
vertised, to help you get full value for what
you can afford to pay. *
Make it a regular habit to study The Her
ald advertisements—all of them—in order to
know how to make every penny count.
