Age Age is a quality of mind; If you’ve left your Dreams behind, If Hope is cold, If you no longer look ahead, If your ambition fires Are dead, Then you are old. —Anon. “Dearest”, sighed the young man, “couldn’t you learn to love me?” “I might”, said the girl, “I learned to eat spinach.” Our Advertising Plan (Continued From Page One) ing—especially famous people. During this Pall we will have full color pages in some issues of the following magazines: Vogue, Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping Womans Home Companion, Harpers Bazaar and The New Yorker. About thir teen million of these Chatham color pages will apear this Fall in those magazines and if five peo ple (the average family) should see each page, we would have sixty-five million people reading and knowing about our blankets. One of the advertisements will show our Christmas Blanket. We are trying to get people to thinK cf Blankets as Christmas gifts. When we think of all of the things that are bought as pres ents it seems sensible to believe that a lot of people would buy a beautiful, warm blanket in an attractive gift box, if they only thought about it and knew where to get it. Every person working with this company can be a great help in increasing sales. If all of us tell our friends about our ne^'' blankets, about our gift blankets and about our other products, it will help a lot. We know that they are good blankets, made of the best possible materials and in fine modern mills. We are spending our lives making some thing that is used in almost ev ery part of the world. Every bit of the care and pride that we put into the making of these blankets will help make ne'''' friends. We hope that before many years are past people will think of “Chatham Blankets” in' stead of just “blankets.” That very name “blanket” was once only the name of a mill man iP England. Thomas Blanket tool^ a piece of plain woolen cloth that was used as bed covering in those days and put a nap on it. He found that it was warmer on aC' count of the air cells. FroPi then on “Blankets” were named' I think we have a pretty good chance of doing the same kin^ of a job. We must keep improV' ing our product and keep telling people about it. Every time I go to a new cit)‘ I try to get into one or two the leading department stored and ask to see blankets. Then ^ tell them about our blankets, they are not carrying them. every member of our organize' tion will do the same thing, \V^ will make a lot of new sales-^ and a lot of new friends. Paul Price says that he ha^ hooked rugs until he’s ashamed' so he thinks he will go down i'’ the Dye House and dye. t
