Never Has Progress
Seemed So Swift
GRANDMOTHER'S girlhood would seem pathetic
ally poor in comforts to us today. She never knew
the convenience of electrically done housework; of
time sa,ved in cooking; of swift trips through the
country' by motor; of the world's best music in her
home, out of the air. .
A generation has changed the lives, comforts anil
habits of the world.
Tomorrow new conveniences, new. comforts will
swiftly find their, way into our lives.
The advertisements will herald their coming. To
day a manufacturer will announce a new and better
product. Tomorrow a million men and women will
use it as an old friend. . - , :
An advertisement breaks down the barrier of dis
tance and tells to all the world in a day's time
the best and newest things the world has devised.
People who keep abreast with progress read the
advertisements.
