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.
