Chairslhatflopintoheds’mhags that suck up dirtmutiny

licking tln'ngs that count all day long for you. Daylight any night just by .
, meshing a hntton.A Astr'eam that never stops till you turn off a faucet.

My voice you want, talking to you from a cage on your desk WW
Actions of yesterday, of people miles away, going on on a curtain before
you. Stilled thoats singing to you from discs; distant throats singing to
you,ll'om mm:

Uncanny, daily magic-this, due to national advertising. Advertise-
ments have given you flashlights, telephones, typewriters, antomohiles,

' mid creams, motion pictures. They have given you new eyes, new ears, .

new hailds, new feet, new faces, new emotions. They have Inged such

wide use, so lomred prices, thet almost wishes are autos, almost heg-
gats can ride. Through advertisements you’ve laid down the shovel and

the hoe. You can buy a whole harvest ready-to-eat in cans. You’ve hung
up the fiddle and the how, for a radio. There’s little old-time work left

in this age of amazing short-cuts.

Read the advertisements. They keep
you to the fore of modern life
