That’s why advertising news deserves even more attention than sporting or international news. The ad- vertisements keep you informed of all the latest com- forts and conveniences that can make your daily living more delightful. They tell where to secure the best; how to save money; how to lessen work; how to have a better home, better food, better clothes, more luxuries. You can't keep up with the daily news—the kind that affects you most—unless you read the advertise- ments. They are the chronometers of local time.
