The Candler System ?
I saw this ad from 1937 for The Candler System (thanks to the Worldradiohistory.com site of course):
I figured the dots and dashes were like: BY PROHIAS (every kid reader of Mad Magazine had decoded that)
So why not decode the dots and dashes in the ad. Starting on the left side it has:
SEND THIS COUPON
but then above the coupon it continues:
QNUOT FINM
Whut ?? That's not right - then Ohhh, I get it ! it's printed backwards - upside down, it should be:
MAIL TODAY
People were just as sloppy in 1937 as they are today :)
