You find yourself humming along as the National
Anthem Is being played. You haven’t missed voting In
13 years. Somebody knocks free enterprise and you
Instinctively defend It. Nothing to be afraid or
ashamed of — you’re an Idealist. And today America
needs more and more of you.
We at Burlington Industries believe that the at
titudes and emotions that made American freedom
and the tree enterprise system work need a
revitalization. Good old Idealism could use a revival.
So examine yourself. See If you have any Idealistic
symptoms. An epidemic of Idealism led to this
country’s birth — and It’s Just about time tor another
outbreak.
P.S. Make yourself heard on November 2. Vote.
Tbday, America needs
all the idealism she can get.
