Back to the Slide Rule...53 Years Back.

I was going through a vintage 1958 HOLIDAY magazine, and came upon this ad. It appears that a group of busy engineers and architects are engaged in the challenge of building a new urban tower.

Nothing earth-shatteringly new to report...obviously, since this ad is 53 years old, but with a trove of vintage magazines at my disposal, I like finding examples of how education indirectly creeps into popular culture. Here a slide rule, in the hands of able bodied men, creates a smart picture of success, and ultimately helps romance and sell a brand.
