IDENTIFICATION TAG
If you have diabetes, are
allergic to penicillin, or have a
physical condition that may
require emergency care, have
some identification on you at all
times. It should be in the form
of a tag or bracelet and should
state your disease or condition.
If advertising. makes you want more of the good things of life... good.
You were born with an inner itch:
a compelling urge to become more than you are.
To live better. Enjoy better things, Get more
satisfaction out of life by improving it.
But to do this you mustsee more than you've
Seen. Db more than you've done. Learn more
than you know. Schools help you do this. So
do magazines and newspapers and books and
conversations and travel,
And so does advertising.
It tells you about new products, New services.
New conveniences. New ideas, Things•that can.
mean a higher plateau of living for you and your
family. And if advertising spurs you to work
harder to reach that plateau, be glad.
No man ever became more than he was
by standing where he iS.
Nor has any community, Or city. Or nation.
Knowledge that there is always a better way of
life, Freedom to choose whether or not you
want it. Courage to go after it. That's what
put this country of ours on the reap in the
first place,
And, keeps it in first place.
