"Oh, yes. Well, that is an idea," ad
mitted Peale
III he ever does drop in to make a
DEAL" said Rodney. II thought we
ought to have something to make a
front-something that looks like q
plant. And by the way, If we can let
1t leak out that it's the Andover soap
people who are backing us with unlim

"Sure! Fathers always hated 'em

got a couple Of hundred thousand dol
lars to go after this advertising thing
