At Least It's Neat...
I was shocked to see the casual and seemingly extraneous use of a swastika in an ad for the Orcadian printing office, especially in 1939. "Maybe people were not too bothered by it before the Second World War started", I mused.
Wrong...
Those pesky type-setting machines, getting all 'creative' and embarrassing their human overlords!

I knew the swastika was an ancient symbol--and I am highly amused by the newspaper editor's response to "Unbelieving Reader." It made me laugh!
