Does Your
Memory
Fail You?
A noted publisher in Chicagb
reports there is a simple tech
nique for acquiring a powerful
memory which can pay you
real dividends in both business
and social advancement and
works like magic to give you
added poise, necessary self-con
fidence and greater popularity.
According to this publisher,
many people do not realize how
much they could influence oth
ers simply by remembering
accurately everything they see,
hear, or read. Whether in busi
ness, at social functions or even
in casual conversations with
new acquaintances, there are
ways in which you can domi
nate each situation by your
ability to remember.
To acquaint the readers of
this paper with the easy-to
follow rules for developing skill
in remembering anything you
choose to remember, the pub
lishers have printed full details
of their self-training methods
in a new book, "Adventures in
Memory," which will be mailed
free to anyone who requests it.
No obligation. Simply send
your request to: Memory
Studies, 835 Diversey Park
way, Dept. 3757, Chicago 14,
111. A postcard will do.
