It’s a neighbor-maker OVER in the bunkhouse the boys of the Bar-C outfit have Kansas City on the radio. In her Park Avenue apartment, the slim fingers of a famous actress turn the dials, and the same music leaps forth. Forty miles north of Mihvaukee, Chris Jonsen, the dirt farmer, is listening in on the same wave-length. U IHfVIMHni The same sort of thing is going on everywhere, al! over the country, at ah hours of the day and night. Folks in Los Angeles see the same movies, and ride in the same automobiles that New Yorkers enjoy. The resident of Seattle wears the same sort of clothes, eats the same brand of bacon, and lives in the same kind of house as his neighbor in Portland, Maine. $ • Advertising has done it. Advertising, the miracle worker, keeps everyone in the land attuned to the latest in everything. It has changed the buying habits of a nation. It is the great modern force that makes neighbors of the people of far countries, that brings the best of their customs to us, and takes ours to them. . , Reading the advertisements will keep you abreast of the times.
