Everyday magic

CHAIRS that flop into beds. bags that suck
updirt -. tiny ticking things that count all day
long for you. Daylight any night just by push
ing button. A stream that never stops till you
turn off faucet Any voice you want, talking to
you from cage onyour desk or wall. Actions
of yesterday, of people miles away, going on on
curtain before YOU Stilled threats singing to
you from discs distant threats singing to you
from nothing.
Uncanny, daily magic-this due to national
advertising. Advertisements have given you
flashlights, telephones, typeWriters, automo-
biles, cold creams motion pictures They have
given you new eyes, new ears, new hands, new
feet new faces, new emotions. They have urged
such wide use, so lowered prices, that almost
wishes are autos, almost beggars can ride
Through advertisements you've laid down the
shovel and the hoe You can buy whole har-
vest ready to-eat in cans. You've hung up the
fiddle and the bow, for radio There's little
old-time work left in this age of amazing short
cuts
