This is a Burroughs advertisement, which reads "We'd like to punch a theory full of holes for you! This one: Only big companies can afford to enjoy all the speed and work saving advantages of a computer!" In 1962, computers were still new to most people so the computer ads from this time period typically included a paragraph of sales copy explaining the benefits of using one. This ad came from Fortune magazine, so was geared towards business people and corporations.
