QUICK RESULTS FROM THE CLASSIFIED PAGES THE SENTINEL REFLECTIONS $148 Million Chewed Up Incredible as it seems we chewed up $148 million worth of gum in 1948. It seems ut terly impossible that pennies and nickels could add up to this fortune. Yet it’s true. Have you forgotten the craze called Pyramid Clubs in 1949? The mails carried tons of let ters with dimes, quarters and dollars to the top names on lists with the fervent hope that soon our name would be shak en to the top and we would receive baskets and baskets of mail, with money inside. We’re a gullible people. We chew gum to grow thin, or fat, or poised, or to stop smoking. We send money to strangers and hope. We listen to smooth talkers and buy City Halls. We sit glued to a chair while emo tional commentators scare us to death. We’ll join anything with an emblem we can wear. We swallow praise, vitamins and pellets, buy more mirrors than books, fly into a rage when a child steps on a flower, or give him our last coin if he’s in need. Yes, we’re gullible but also the kindest hearted, most I generous and hardest fighters ! and quickest to forgive. We’re I Americans. All Work Fully Guaranteed to Satisfy CAMERAS.
