Dear Feminine Dynamo: Box 167D

Your SRL ad sounds made-to-order. Better see me so soon as I return to New York from Thanksgiving at Andover, Massachusetts.

My researches have uncovered the rationale of the up to now empirical societal development — as simple as it is seemingly strange and unexpected — and how self-sustaining enterprise (for profit) is thereby tending towards the essential public services that it will take over by consent of all when men of large properties and affairs discover it. (You may be skeptical, and properly, but, even so, it’s well worth a “look-see.”)

The intellectual spade-work has been done. Only a judicious
publicizing remains. Talents and _____  such as yours are much

All my discoveries have been highly practicable, fully demonstrable, self-evident upon examination. The motivation, as in all basic discovery, has been fundamentally esthetic — no

personal or _______ axe to grind (for Nature in all fields

first _______  with intimations of beauty, then blesses with

vitality and power.)
