Y omance 0U often hear people refer to the "dear okl days of romance to tne time when knight-errants roamed the earth to do honor to a lady's blue eyes. These folks say we are living in an age of realism! An age of "realism" where the human voice is hurled across the world without wires; where the temperature of Mars is taken more than thirty million miles away; where tons of steel and people ride easily and safely through the air or under the seal An age of realism! Why this is the most romantic of all ages! The advertising columns of this paper are full of romance of the romance of men who have devoted their lives to bringing new comforts, conveniences and pleasures for mankind. Advertisements tell these stories, not with the roman tic exaggeration of a iongleur, but with the calm, simple words of sincerity. Here is a firm that spent millions to develop a product that makes your baby comfortable. Here is a company that has labored fifty years to cut a single hour of toil from your day's work Here is a man who has searched the Seven Seas to produce a new flavor for your dinner. Romance this age is full of it Not just empty ro mance, but the true romance of achievement, of prog ress, of the betterment of mankind. Advertisements tell you what the romance of business is doing for you. Read them.
