display advertisement ever used by

1t is in the display advertising of the
bureau OF employment of department

1ull page, inside back cover, following
pure reading matter of the monthly

list OF applications on file with the
bureau by employers who want to fill
PNsItoHS paying from 30 per week up
TO $4,000 per year. This is the first
time the State has used display adver-

copy, written by more or less expert
press agents. One feature of the ad
would commend itself to all adver-
tisers. 1t costs the bureau nothing.
