Made by the improved and recently-patented process including K! some eight or ten hand operations and requiring twelve years—readable in approximately nine cases of every ten. This striking fact might seem more conceivable when we recall that the longer the period of making, the more perfect the finished product. The market abounds in cramped substitutes and backhand imitations. Beware of them--buy only the brand marked, “Class of 1924—Hall Township High School.” g [U] g (2) READING. m One of the exclusive features of this product is that it imparts to the user a smooth-running, glossy, well oiled conversation—free from harsh haltings and unpleasant hesitations—endorsed everywhere. Francis Bacon of London says, “Reading maketh a full man”; Dr. Eliot of Harvard believes that “reading is the greatest tool anyone can have in building a success socially or in business.” The exclusive eleven-year process is another distinctive mark of the article. [Ml 3B (3) GRAMMAR. S We suggest that you insist your finished material be equipped S with this appliance, for so utterly perplexing are some of its machine K3 operations that its manufacture is often given up in despair. A thorough examination of the finished product of 1924 will determine the location and the condition of the accessory grammar. One of the g selected raw materials used in the manufacture of this article is the vocabulary note book, several of which are now on display in the public S speaking department. Dfl 3 S3 K3 EK3 § K3 (4) MATHEMATICS. The result of a detailed operating performance of seven years duration—made from the following raw materials in order of their use: arithmetic (brought ready-made from the sub-plants); algebra, and geometry, including both the plane and the solid—distinguishing features of finished material mathematics—insures the owner against the formation of cobwebs in or about the brain—tends to convince him of the striking similarity between his cranium and the last named type of the article geometry, in so far at least as solidity is concerned.

E Da SALUTATORY, LESTER VAN TRESS S D3 You are now seated in the assembly room of the great brain-de- J5g veloping institution of Hall Township. As has long been proclaimed by word and pen, the managers and overseers are to place before you today for inspection the finished product of 1924, with a view to placing it at once on the market of the world’s citizenship. E Dd s Da ■ Da E Da E Da dd E Da E Da E Da At this point, however, it might be well to reveal something of the intricate operations involved in the output of such a product as we advertise. In the first place, this finished material has been constantly in the making since the entrance into the first grade of a particularly promising batch of raw material twelve years ago. Very few are the processes which are so exacting and precise that twelve years are needed in their execution, as is the case here—eight years in the subplants; four years in this establishment. But stay—it is not our purpose at this time to consider so much the method and manner of making, but rather the nature and characteristics of the finished product. Accordingly, after delving with utmost diligence into the innermost recesses of our brains, we have compiled an accurate inventory of the stock on hand, that the world may be able to compute with more intelligence the value of these human manufactured appliances at your disposal. E Dd E Dd E Dd We have found in diverse stages of perfection, in sundry shapes and forms, and in motely shades and hues a considerable accumulation of information, knowledge and learning, diligently labeled and named, and duly appraised at their face value by the board of examiners, the faculty. jVj TWENTY-SEVEN DdEDdSDdEDdSDdSDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdEDdSDdSDdSDdS SDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdEDdEDdEDdSDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdSDdEDdE

g an % (5) AMERICAN HISTORY. H ..................... We suggest that especial care be used in dealing with this article E3 due to the presence on the market of a copious supply of imitations un- S der such trade names as “Ancient,” “Medieval,” or “Modern.” Insist K] on the genuine American—it’s up-to-the-minute, unequalled—greatly g improved and rennovated by the attachment of that recently patented K3 invention the Literary Digest, so that it includes a thorough acquainted! ance with the most minute details of the imporant public questions, ErO and, in short, has become an active and efficient stimulus to interest !§! in national affairs. H S (6) STENOGRAPHY. KJ One of the most practical of all products manufactured in this es-ErQ tablishment—ready for use at a minute’s notice. In behalf of the in- S terests of the business men in this community who may wish to buy En3 the “Hall—1924” brand of goods, we suggest a complete inspection of the records of the department of stenography on the first floor, room [q] 209, after the demonstration. (7) LATIN. EMI g f§ g K3 3 That the manufacture of this notorious product is extremely difficult, requiring two years of drudgery and tribulation at the very least, is unquestionably one of the most widely known facts of this establishment . Its cases are puzzling; its tenses, perplexing: its declensions, confusing; and its constructions, baffling. Insist on the genuine article—it is a distinctive asset to the owner—refuse such substi tutes as French and Spanish. S Bfl g Bfl s g n g 18) ATHLETIC TRAINING. This is an article which is veritably an everlasting one—a truly “wear-ever” product though it is not made of aluminum. It is a remarkable accessory in view' of the fact that the task of manufacturing it is carried on altogether after the expiration of the six hours of the regular working day. This finished material, the result of working overtime, as it were, presents a value such as our market of human accessories has heretofore seldom provided. The satisfaction of having a generous supply on hand is real to those who know what a distinctive improvement it is to the efficiency of the whole. So lengthy is the completed inventory that it is necessary to omit TWENTY-NINE lSSEn3SEn3SEn3SK3SEn3SK3SEn3SEri!SEn3SEn3SEn3SK3SEn]SEn3Sln3SEn3SEn3S GiiSEnjSESSEnlSEnlSEnjSErQSEnlSESSEniSKlSEnlSKISEnlSEnjSKISKlSEnlSEnlSE SEnlSEnJSEKISE SES
