...recent paragraph titled "Cheap Light" (TIME, Dec. 1) you, unwittingly of course, committed an injustice against our product: Lyter-life-a synthetic, emulsified fuel for lighters. You assert, apropos of a German-made product, that similar fuels "have not been wholly successful in the U. S."

To think that a group of 250 men can be so acutely sensible, not to the canons, but to the superficial quibbles which intrude into the field of taste is beyond us. We were not present and it may be that there...
