Exodus 28.15-30
In the 1920's, Fred R. Barnard was the national manager of Street Railways Advertising. As an advertising executive, His job was to find various ways to advertise products. His motto was, ''everyone likes to read pictures.''
He had summarized the quote recorded in 1911 during a banquet held to discuss journalism and publicity. The newspaper covering the event quoted Arthur Brisbane as saying, ''Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words.''
To promote his agencies add, Barnard took out an ad in the Printer's Ink, a monthly publication in 1921, promoting the use of images in advertisements that appeared on the side of streetcars. He took that quote he found from 1911 that said, ''''One Look is Worth a Thousand Words'' and replaced the words ''One Look'' with the words ''One Picture'' making it now read:
''One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.''
To help give it credibility, he referred to it as a ''Chinese Proverb,'' and added some Chinese characters. The Chinese actually had a similar proverb, ''Hearing something a hundred times isn't better than seeing it once.'' And since then, we've used the saying, ''One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words,'' a thousand times! And do you why we use it? Because it's true all the time!
''A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!''

A picture! Though some places write out the words ''Men'' and ''Women,'' that doesn't help when you're in a foreign country where you can't read the words. You look for the pictures!
How did you learn to read? Pictures!
How do you learn to a speak a new language? Pictures!
What helps keep you safe while driving? Among other things: Pictures! For example:
*How do yo ...
