That prices are low and that means bargains. Wise
merchants with stocks on hand want to convert them in-
to cash' and are looking for buyers.
Newspaper advertising points the way to both —
when the buyer and seller have a message of common in-
terests. The great news of the day and the unprecedent
ed bargains for the thrifty. it means great savings for
the buyer and a cleaning out of shelves for the seller. It
is time to buy and time to advertise bargains to the buyer.
