Do you buy Figure It Out I For Yourself Dr. J. M. Green Will Resume Practice of Dentistry April 1, 1932. Suite 316, Rio Gi ande National Lite Insurance Bldg what you want or SOMEONE WA.NTS TO SELL, YOU What a pleasure it is to shop when you know exactly what you want and can get it without trouble.

And what dissatisfaction often follows, if you let yourself be talked into buying some other article instead! probably know how disappointing such purchases often are. Most women do! For even at the grocery br drug store insistent salespeople will sometimes urge you to buy something just as as the product you request. When you ask for certain products which you know are dependable, why should any clerk insult your judgment by insisting that you take other brands instead? There is always a reason. Usually a very selfish one! At times, of course, a store of the brand you ask for. But some stores seem to be deliberately all the time.

Others, even though they have the brand you want, will very often try by sheer persuasion to sell you some other in its place. When this happens, frequently it is because the merchant reaps extra profit, or the clerk a commission, by switching you to the unknown and often inferior merchandise! Many of the best stores everywhere forbid this practise. When you buy from them you are always sure of getting exactly what you ask for; certain of receiving full value in the merchandise you want for every penny you spend! But if you are offered something as as the thing you ask for, be firm! Insist on packaged products which you know through experience, by brand, or by the reputation of the maker. Such products are often advertised in this newspaper. Be guided by what you know, and you will always be sure of full value for your shopping dollars.
