Ycm remember why, don't you? Certainly. It
was "to see what he could see.”
And it’s for just this same beautifully
simple reason that thousands of knowing peo-
ple run through the advertisemen ts in their
daily newspapers.
For, it seems, civilized men and women
are seldom satisfied with their lot. In this
ever-producing age they have an insatiable ap-
petite for something new which may make
life brighter. That something may be an
electric razor, or new clothes ... a good book,
or a ride in a streamlined train.
So they turn the newspaper pa^ es to see
what they can see. There they’re ab e to find
what it is, why it is, where it is, and how much
it is. And the advertisements say, “Come
and get it!” ■ : '££1
