Economic Merits

But perhaps the strongest appeal you can make is based on what

naturally grows out of the strength and beauty of good brickwork,

and that is real economy. But don't be deceived by the superficial

error of initial cost. A $4.00 pair of shoes are cheaper than a

$5.00 pair, it is true, but if the $5.00 pair fit better, look

better, and wear twice as long, the $4.00 pair are dearer, and

you would lose not only in money but in personal satisfaction by

getting them. Real economy would lead you to buy the $5.00 pair.
