Many people - and I think I ...

Quotes from the same author

Claude Hopkins.. maintained that nobody with a college education could write an advertisement addressed to the mass millions. That's absolute poppycock.
 David Ogilvy
Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising.

How many juries will convict us when we are caught in these acts of beneficent citizenship?
