...have a button to wear in the lapel or on the dress bearing a proper symbol, and representing TIME-readers. I'm sure most of us subscribers would like to know that the man we meet is an up-to-the-moment "peppist," and we would be glad to pay a nominal price for such buttons or insignias...
...newspaper headlines throughout the country, the name Baumes had been rising to new prominence. Who, what it is-trade mark, symbol, place-many people can only guess.

Apparently, this constitutes a symbol. It is in the same vein as the Servant in the House* and, no doubt, carries a great message, which fails to compensate for dramatic poverty...
