It grew late, as so often it does; and he put the quietus on a discussion with the ponderous statement: "I don't read advertisements. They have no effect on me at all. I'd never miss them if they stopped printing 'em." Then he glanced at hiiadvertised watch and sought his lower birth. . In the morning the ad-skeptic contorted himself out of his advertised pyjamas into his advertised underwear, drew on his advertised socks, adjusted them with his advertised garters, got into his advertised clothes, laced his advertised shoes and added himself to the congestion in the wash-room. There he shaved with an advertised razor, using advertised shaving cream; brushed his teeth with an advertised toothbrush and advertised dental cream, washed with advertised soap, and brushed his hair with an advertised brush. Buttoning his advertised collar on an advertised button, he neatly knotted his advertised tie,gave his advertised suspenders a tug or two, and finished dressing. Let us leave him there, this man who never reads advertisements! Everything worth uiin-j is advertised. Everything that isn't, rarely is.
