SHE CLERKS TO CONQUER

Just remember that when a woman waits on you, or takes you to your office in an elevator, she is part of the victory machine. Because she is doing his work, some young man is able to take his place on the frontiers of freedom.

You can help the whole machine along by courtesy and reasonable patience. It sometimes make it a bit harder for you, but it isn’t any too easy for her. Being thrown suddenly into a strange world of business complications is just as startling experience for this brave little woman as it was for you when you began work. (Ad. From New York paper.)
