You could Sit on the tabled carpet Of Bagdad and
view the world In the whsk of an eyelash it would
carry you any place you wanted to go. All you had
to do was wish
Advertising is sort of magic carpet Read it and
in the twinking Of an eye you can review the mer-
chandise of the world pictured and displayed for
your benefit.
You can pick up this paper and in fifteen minutes
know what the different shops are offering in the
way Of fabrics patterns varieties and qualities of
almost anything you want
The advertisements introduce you to the latest
styles-the newest comforts for the home-the best
of the worlds inventions They tell you how to buy,
where to buy and when to buy They keep you posted
things necessary to feed and cothe you and your
family and make you comfortable and happy.
Read the advertisements as matter of education
Read them to keep abreast Of progress.
