“The spirit of the age” says we shall have wheatless, meatless, sweetless, heatless and almost eatless days, but says nothing about tobaccoless, drinkless, chewing-gumless, candyless, soft-drinkless, jewelryless, fashionless days.
Born as it was shortly before the beginning of the great conflagration that almost ruined their country, these young people, raised in poverty and discomfort, hardship, tragedy and mourning, have learned a great deal from the faults of their elders. Those “candyless” children have grown up to be what they are today-matter-of-fact, positive, hard-working, bunk-hating and open-eyed young men and women.
To make sure that shoppers found the candyless lane, Mr. Lux installed a huge sign: “Mom!” it reads. “This is a NO CANDY checkout line. It’s here to make your shopping trip more pleasant.”
