AFRA ANTICS This is the one time to which we look forward in each busy year when we
can all get together with YOU—our friends and listeners.
May you all have the TIME OF YOUR LIVES! We hope you'll go home a
little tired, but VERY HAPPY, convinced that the 4th ANNUAL AFRA
ANTICS could never be surpassed—unless it's by the 5th!
— See you all next year!!

“REMEDIES TRUE TO LABEL”
My Dear Public:
After a life time devoted to the study of Drugs and Chemicals and the compounding
and distribution of medicines I now offer a few “Remedies true to Label" under my
name and personal guarantee.
Each product represents a favorite and carefully selected prescription of known
therapeutic value and when used as directed will result in the conservation and im¬
provement in health and relief from pain.
Laboratory work necessary for their production and packaging is supervised by
skilled, experienced pharmaceutical chemists which coupled with the use of pure
drugs and chemicals enables me to market "Remedies true to Label” as perfect products
at sensible prices.
Very truly yours.
L/ T7, MATTHEWS LIQUID ANALGESIC-F or relief of the discomfort of pain due to simple headache and
neuralgia, muscular aches and pains.
MATTHEWS LAXATIVE COLD CAPSULES-For the relief of common colds.
MATTHEWS WHITE PINE COMPOUND SYRUP —For coughs, bronchial irritations and hoarseness.
MATTHEWS AQUEOUS NOSE DROPS-F acilitates breathing in common head colds and hay fever.
MATTHEWS TOOTHACHE OUTFIT—A temporary filling for aching teeth due to exposed cavities.
MATTHEWS TOOTHACHE WAX-For the relief of aching teeth.

l am the Answer
I am the warm voice that answers the
ARTISTS phone calls at intervals that
you cannot be reached.
I am Assurance
I allay the fear in the producers mind,
while assuring them that the Artists will
shortly return their call.
f am Security
I guarantee the ARTIST that his mes¬
sages will not be injured because a
producer was unable to reach him
when needed. I promise the Artist that
the producers will not be provoked by
unnecessary waiting.
tarn Experience
More than five million calls have
passed through my hands during my
years of service. Five million calls and
a score of years have given me knowl¬
edge possessed by no one else; for
while I have served many masters dur¬
ing those years, I have served only one.
Telephone Message Exchange alone
can boast management with fifteen
years of continuous successful experi¬
ence.
f am Economy
My services cost only a few cents a
day and they protect the work that
has taken you years of study and
hundreds of dollars to build up. I am
eager that you too should know my
keen and masterful handling of phone
calls and the peace of mind that comes with our service.
f am uhruys Available
Call us now and apply for your service.
