Kawakami charg ed repeatedly that the United States was expanding Air Force bases in Japan to accommodate the B47, which he described as an "atomic bomber." .

Frozen foods were un heard of . . . ice cubes an impossibility . . . and that drip pan under the ice box always seemed to be overflowing. Today, a silent, white-enameled ice man stands in millions of kitchens. But to mass produce millions of refrigerators, manufacturers must be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manufacturer talk to millions of people at one time. . ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new refrigerators . . . and helps sell them. The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs going. The result: newer, better appliances at prices more people can afford to pay. Advertising helped make the difference in refrigerators, and in our American way of life. ' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE mww .mam mmm OAD OF THE DAILY VtmtlUtX -
