Lift Up
THINE Eyes

IN the five generations since 1740, we Americans
have performed the heroic task of clearing, popu-
iatng, farming, indusrializing and civilizing a
country larger than England, France, Germany,
Spain and Italy put together.
Because we have looked always forward and
upward, and have worked hard, we have achieved
the highest standard of living in the world.
One of the most potent of all the forces that
have created this living standard is advertising,
which inspires us to want always the new and
better things and ways of life.
OF late years it has been the fashion among
our radical reformers to attack advertising as an
economic waste.
How silly, in view of the magnificent service
II has rendered us! Let's encourage it and use
it for ever brighter future.

nothing ever was said about what

The vast amount of attention
which the play has had, natural
corelative of its combination of
such names as those of Shake
