written by busy executives, q swift efficient

burning business necessity. Thomas A. Edison,
super-American business engineer, supplied that
necessity with the unprecedented Edison Die
tating Machine and Edison Dictation System.
Not.an business men have yet come to re-
alizc that Mr.. Edisons system Of dictation is one
of his greatest achievements.
Not all business men have come to under
stand that Mr.. Edison's dictation system will
not only reduce the cost of correspondence,
but actually enable every dictator and stenog-
rapher to produce BETTER LETTERS.
But when the business world comes to q
full realization of the Edison Debating Machine

world will echo as above s-,-

The Washington times., 1917-10-23

When life was simple and there was little
strain on man, diversion was not national
need.
But when society grew complex, man felt
the strain, and relaxation in each home became
human necessity. Thomas A. Edison, super
American inventor, supplied that necessity with
his astonishing discovery-the phonograph.
That was building civilization.

When life became still more intense, home
entertainment failed to furnish sufficient diver

American imagination supplied that need with
his bewildering moving pictures.
That was building civilization.
When England and Germany, in 1914,
placed an embargo on carbolic acid and threat
ened to paralyze American industry, Thomas A.
Edison brought into being in four weeks plant
that could produce two thousand pounds of car
bolic acid per day.
That was preserving civilization from the
iron heel of autocracy.
When business was small and there were

Thomas A. Edison, Super-American engineer,

That was building civilization.
When Alexander Graham Bell found that
