Authorities on the art of persuasion, these enthusiastic ad-men vied to outdo each other and the ads came rolling in. Fathers, uncles, and friends-of-the-family were coaxed into advertising or at least inserting “the compliments of a friend and so the honor roll outside Mother Morgan’s Office was fdled. The figures in black and white are proof that there never was such a sister-class. 28
