This ad was paid for by the RW division of a company called Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc. Anyway, that's not the point. There's a picture of the machine with a one inch thick chain coming out of the top of it and a guy standing next to it. In the upper right hand corner of this full page ad, in letters an inch high, are the words: BUILT TO BE USED After some cut and paste work, we have a copy of the ad which reads: USED TO BE BUILT I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
