Chapter 6. Five More Keys That Unlock Memory

Do you begin to realize what magic lies in these key words? You now have five keys to unlock memory chambers swiftly and surely. Naturally, with ten key words you can double the storage room. Let's have a look at the next five, and see how much more easily the mental images come after the practice of the previous chapters.

KEY WORD NUMBER SIX

6. AUTOMOBILE. This keyword is easy to unlock memory and you can keep it in mind quite easily. The auto­mobile is a s£#-cylinder car, and the license plate has six figures, all sixes—666,666. It seats six persons and six payments are still due on it. SIX is AUTOMOBILE.

KEY WORD NUMBER SEVEN

7. POLICEMAN. He is seven feet tall and seven feet around, this big policeman. His badge number is seven. With his arm outstretched for you to stop, he looks like a figure 7. SEVEN is POLICEMAN.

KEY WORD NUMBER EIGHT

8. REVOLVING DOOR. Think of a pair of revolving doors. When they swing around, what kind of a figure do they make? That's right—a figure 8, laid on its side. These revolving doors are in front of a restaurant in which you ate. As you pushed the revolving door you heard the clock striking eight. EIGHT is REVOLVING DOOR.

KEY WORD NUMBER NINE

9. MAILBOX. When you see a government mailbox in pro­file, it looks like a figure 9. The number on this mailbox is 999. The next collection is at nine o'clock. NINE is MAIL-BOX.

KEY WORD NUMBER TEN

10. GENERAL-DELIVERY WINDOW. This general-de­livery window has ten bars. Every time you go to the general-delivery window ten fingers reach out to collect your Jera-dollar bill. The shelf under the general-delivery window is made of tin and needs attention. TEN is GEN­ERAL-DELIVERY WINDOW.

These second five key words follow upon each other in a natural sequence of action, just as the first five did. After you have finished reading your newspaper, which was five, you...

get into your automobile,

are stopped by a policeman,

walk through a revolving door,

go to the mailbox,

and call at the general-delivery window.
