Beacon Staff—
I received two more Beacons this
week and I enjoyed them so much
I just had to write you and let you
know that I still receive them and
still enjoy reading them.
I just got back from a two day
pass. I spent it in London, sure had
a nice time. We sure have some nice
Red Cross Clubs there. They sure
are doing ^ good job, it’s almost
like going home when you go to
one. Well almost like home.
I wanted to go to the wax mu-
seum but I didn’t get to for there
are so many things to see that you
just can’t crowd them all into two
days.
We had quite an attraction here
on the post yesterday. Bob Hope
and Francis Langford were here.
They sure put on a good show.
We can get a lot of American
programs on the radio now and
they sure sound good—some more
Lend-Lease i suppose. Ha.
Every time I get the Beacon I
see where some one of Palacios is
going into the service. It doesn’t
hardly seem possible for they were
only kids when I knew them.
I’m glad they have finally set-
tled the coal strike for the fellows
feelings regarding the strike were
really running high over here.
I went to a dance while I was
in London, the Covcnt Gardens. It
was an old opera house changed
into a dance hall. Drey Benson and
her all girl band was playing. It
reminded me of the Pavilion.
I’ll have to stop and eat chow so

Wonder About
ADVERTISING?
Here is The MAIN FACT
to Consider
ADVERTISING VALUE
The true value of advertising lies not in the prosaic
offering of merchandise for sale, but in subtle manner
the keeping before the public eye the name of your
company and the name of your products.
The average consumer of the articles you sell, when
he has no immediate need of those articles, does not buy.
But the constant association of yourself and those articles
in persistent advertising will in time produce results.
Sincerely,
Roland Suggs.

Dear Stewart and Dizzy:
You should see me now! I’m in a
party of three of which I am in
charge and we are riding in a real
swell club car on the above crack
train. Excuse scribbling, please. We
must be going 65 or 70 miles an
hour.
Boys, they nearly killed me ai
that reception center. They worked
the devil out of us—I mean nigger
labor. I went in on the 6th and
got travel orders on 10th. Left SA
yesterday morning at 7:30. We rode
the Sunbeam Special to St. Louis,
had swell meals in the diner and
had lower berths last night, while
the “poor civilians” were crying for
just a place to sit down.
I am being transferred to the
Finance School at Fort Benjamin
Harrison, outside of Indianapolis,
Indiana and I mean I’m plenty
happy. You know, I was afraid I’d
draw the infantry.
I won’t mail this until I learn
my new address Please send paper
and write. Your friend,
Wyndal R. Jolly
