Another of those nice blotters of which we have already
made mention shows a winged cherub carrying a Dictionary
Holder under one arm saying: "I am making a flying trip in
the interest of education. The basis of education is the dic
tionary, and the base of the dictionary should be a Noycs Hol
der. The valued unabridged is of little value unless it is get
atablc (look this word up). A book held edge up gets full of
dust, soiled and spoiled unless hugged together with strong
springs. Only the Holders mantactured by La Verne V.
Noycs, the originator and inventor of Book Holders, have
such springs." Send to him, at Chicago, a two-cent stamp to
pay postage and receive in return this series of blotters.
