Wastefulness
of "Price” Buying
To save money in purchasing is a duty everyone owes
to his business. "Price” buying, however, does not always
mean economy.
A few dollars "saved” in Buying a typewriter may turn out to
be many dollars wasted and make an expense of what should
have been an investment.
The higher price paid for the
L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
is paid for the greater amount of superior work it will turn out
and its greater durability.
You will be surprised to learn what a great difference there is
in typewriters. The cheapest is usually the most expensive.
