The ad ran for 24 hours and read: "Ending Polio Now: Rotary’s Impossible Dream is becoming Reality!" By way of context, you cannot drive on Philadelphia’s Schuylkill Expressway or go in or out of the city at night to restaurants and theaters without seeing the PECO Crown Lights “motion messages” which dominate the city skyline every evening all night long into the early morning hours. .
