GIVE UP PLATINUM!

Who would have thought that so

Is so. Every Woman who wears bit
of platinum jewelry is defrauding the
government of just so much power for
war. Every man who buys platinum

Jewelry set in platinum is undenia-

that one wOrld-famOus scientist has
sacrificed a beautiful platinum dish
