hitting power to disable a tank, yet it can be used by one or two soldiers in places which are inaccessible to
regular, large, anti-tank guns. Left: Loading a rocket into the rear of the Bazooka. Top right: This is the

BUYERS
• In bringing us buying Information, as
to prices that are being asked for
what we intend to buy, and as to the
quality we can expect, the advertising
columns of this newspaper perform a
worth while service which saves us
many dollars a year.
• It Is a good habit to form, the habit
of consulting the advertisements every
time we make a purchase, though we
have already decided just what we
want and where we are going to buy
it. It gives us the most priceless feeling
In the world: the feeling of being
adequately prepared.
• When we go into a store, prepared
beforehand with knowledge of what is
offered and at what price, we go as
an expert buyer, filled with self-confi
dence. It is a pleasant feeling to have,
the feeling of adequacy. Most of the
unhappiness in the world can be traced
to a lack of this feeling. Thus adver
tising shows another of Its manifold
facets—shows itself as an aid toward
making all our business relationships
more secure and pleasant.
