Double-sided print advertisement for the Dow Chemical Company's Chemical Sales Department extolling the virtues of Dow salesmen relative to machine-rendered data analysis and analytics. The front of the advertisement depicts a punch card for an IBM 7070 data processing system with the caption "Our model 7070 (It figures.)." On the reverse side is a photographic reproduction of a Dow employee ID with the caption "Our model 506713 (He thinks.)." The accompanying text describes how Dow's chemicals salesmen and staff expertly offer services and advice that machines cannot replicate, providing valuable insight and savings to the consumer. This advertisement appeared on pages 206-207 of Fortune magazine's October 1963 issue.
