man who profits by the ominous and portentous signs that loom up in the nnknown ftrtnre. Who heeds the distant
rumbling of the lar away, but rapidly approaching storm that will yet, like the relentless hurricane, sweep over the land.
But wiser far Ir he wdio has learned wisdom and experience from the bitter lessons of the long past-by paying more for the
necessities of life than they are worth simply because they have been granted a little time. The lesson taught has been a
bard one, but still there Is time to halt, and retrace you steps. Buy where you get the most goods for the least cash money.
