LESS DANGEROUS THAN CARELESS TALK

Al Dorne, who is responsible for this startling anti-loose-talk poster, has a list of commercial clients that reads like a "who's who" of national advertisers.

A former professional boxer, the demand for his magnificient drawings always exceeds his ability to supply...even though he is capable of working 30 hours at a stretch.

Mr. Dorne is one of the that extremely small group of natrually gifted artists who is entirely self-taught. In fact, his first experience in an art school occurred recently when he was invited in as a teacher!

This is a symbolic poster and represents a sharp "change-in-pace" for this important campaign.

Its prominent display will be appreciated."

Excellent condition, not mailed.
