THE LOUPOT PLAN is this: Bring us the books that you have been using during the current semes ter, and we will trade you the books you will need in February. It’s as simple as that—but it’s consider ably better than selling for cash, then buying for cash—and finding yourself short in the process. FOR EXAMPLE: Suppose you are finishing up A. H. 107, and are scheduling A. H". 203 for the Febru ary term. Bring us your 107 textbook—we supply you with the 203 text, and the difference if any is paid in cash. (Note: The cash adjustment to be made seldom exceeds 50c or 75c.) AND WHAT’S MORE: Old Lou will let YOU do the trading. Bring in your old book, and look around until you find the new text that you want. Then make us an offer; we seldom turn one down. THE IDEA IS: Lou needs your books and your drawing supplies—you need to save all the money you can—with the result that we both profit on each transaction. THIS IS THE REASON why Lou is the largest dealer in used books in College Station. FAIR TRADES and FAIR PRICES have made the Trading Post an institution at Texas A. & M. College.
