# Promotion Poster "High School Student" (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)

A boy in a uniform cap and a girl in a green blouse point at a large magazine titled 'Middle School Student' against a yellow sun disc. The Chinese text calls it the best extracurricular reading for middle-school students and lists its sections, with a Taipei address and telephone number. The tell is glittering-generalities, in praise such as 'fine printing' and 'rich content', and transfer, in the smiling uniformed students who endorse it.
