The pedestrian on the street being; a little overbalanced often comes in contact with a lamp post and usually receives a black eye or a skinned nose. So there are various ways in which collisions occurr. Some are caused by accident, others carelessness.

TWO WAYS TO One is to let some plausable advertiser pull you into! his store, and then let a plausable salesman persuade you to buy -where you can't get your money again if you want it. ; The other is to consider carefully: Which is the store to buy at? which is the safe one? what is the difference? what makes sate.-' Your money back if you want it. Nothing can take the place of that. You'll probably be like the savings bank depositor If you can have your money, you won't want it; but, if jyou can't have it, you'll want it. j The reason is this: The store that gives you your money back if you want it, keeps good clothes and takes pains in selling and fitting; the other keeps inferior clothes and don't care.
