100 Years of Support

A man was in a department store, moving from one level to the next on an escalator.

As he ascended, he saw an advertising sign gradually revealing its message:

FOR WOMEN

FOR SUPPORT

FOR UPLIFT

The man thought it was a commercial for the church.

As the top of the billboard became visible he realized that this was an ad for a bra and that he was entering the lingerie section of the store.

This uplifting story was recalled by seeing a CNN story today that was celebrating the 100th birthday of the bra.
