Mrs. Brown, Executive MRS. BROWN, housekeeper of scarcely more than a generation ago, was a skilled laborer. The Mrs. Brown of today is an executive. She has turned over much of her work to mechanical appliances. Much of her cooking has been placed in the hands of manufacturers of foods. Most of her sewing is done for her by the makers of clothing and household furnishings. Freed from drudgery by modern inventions, she has become a manager. The advertisements in her dailv newspaper have enab’ed her to be a better director of the affairs of her home than any woman of any past generation. She is primarily an intelligent buyer. She spends 859? of the family income. The care with which she reads the advertisements and the wisdom with which she acts on them determine the health, happiness and prosperity of her household. She studies every new and every accepted product that might benefit her in her business of home management. She compares values. She is an expert in getting one hundred cents’ worth of comfort, protection and satisfaction for every dollar she spends. She reads the advertisements every day. On them Mrs. Brown’s efficiency depends. Read the advertisements—they stand for quality merchandise —semper idem.
