The most enterprising advertising
agent yet heard from is in Paris. He
has acquired the services of IA man
with q bald head on the back of which
are painted encomiums of soap, pills,
or whatever the agent chooses. Then

and it is only a question of time,
doubtless, when it will be adapted to
poster purposes.
