"Vanity Cases
Used 3000 B. C."
SCIENTIFIC excavations in the ancient city of Kish,
so we are told by a news dispatch, show that women
carried vanity cases forty-nine centuries ago. Why did
not the luxuries of that old civilization spread to the
rest of the world? Why were the delicate and pleasure
bringing things of life buried and hidden away for so
many ages?
Without the printed word, information could hardlv
)e spread to other countries, and the knowledge of events
and things could scarcely be preserved. Today, if a bet
ter rug is produced in Kurdistan, it is soon advertised
for sale in American newspapers. If a better necklace
is made in China, a printed advertisement will shortly
describe it and quote the price on the other side of the
globe.
Advertising publishes the secrets of good things from
one end of America to the other. The newest and best
products of forty-eight states are told about, fully and
truthfully, wherever the public press is read.
Read the advertisements and you keep from being
buried like Kish.
Advertisements tell you what is best to buy where
to pet it and what to pay for it.
