WEST 72"70 Tho Day Thoy, Stopped Avrising More times than most of us can remember we have looked'out on the front lawn or porch to spot yet another advertising flier and we have expressed displeasure to some degree.. And how many times have we groaned when yet another commercial interrupted our favour- ite television programn? There seems to be no escape. Even Henry Morgan, now in Canada, who always was an establishmenlt bucker even- tually gets around, after his message to the world, to. .. ..advertisinlg for a motor oit.
