When Lincoln Was a Barefoot Boy— aS | Oe caand scrap of printed paper that came to his hands was a treasure trove. He read it eagerly—conning every line—getting every worth while word. What a harvest he would have garnered from a modern publication! And not the least interesting to him would have been the advertisements, with their stories and their pictures of products, appli- ances and services that have smoothed the course of life to a degree unknown and unbelievable in the rough pioneer days. Nowadays new comforts and conveniences slip into our lives almost without our realizing it. We are liable to be rather matter-of-fact about it all. And advertising that has made it simpler to make and distribute profitably innumerable products at reasonable prices, has played a leading part in making our life so eminently easy to live. Read over the advertisements and try to think what the things you see there would have meant to our forefathers. Then you’ll realize whata serv- ice and what a convenience advertising is to you. Read it. Make use of it! comicbooks.com
