A PIECE OF PAPER

J^INCOLN’S eniotions on a piece of paper gave Gettysburg a
gem. Due to honesty. The United States Treasurer’s name
on a piece of paper is worth countless millions any day. Due to
credit. A notary’s seal on a piece of paper keeps faith between
two meft. Due to a pledge. A reporter’s write-up on a piece of
paper affects the intimate lives of millions. Due to news, pledge,
credit, honesty—all four!
Your acceptance of advertisements, your letting them guide
in buying, saving, putting comfort in your home—is due to
sense. Advertisers are pledged to serve you right. Their wares
justify faith.

Advertisements are a message to you. They are are a
