A DAY WITH MR. BURBANK 



But, should a person succeed in running the 

 gauntlet of these protective signs, there is still 

 another provision which must be faced. When

Vhitor No Date- 



What is your business with Mr. Burbank ?_ 



For whose benefit is this interview ?_ 

 Your name 1 



Y(mr address? . 

 Remarks 



All visitors are limited to five minutes unless by 

 special appointment. 



Mr. Burbank's work is of such a nature that he 

 cannot well be interrupted. .

 larger proving grounds are located, he faces 

 this card which was not prepared looking to a 

 source of revenue, but in order, if possible, to 

 keep down the number of actual apphcations :
