...Brand X Window Cleaner, an efficient, pastelike cleaner invented by former Eisenhower Bodyguard Harry Chafvin Jr., who set up his own Brand "X" Corp. to manufacture the paste and a Brand "X" polishing cloth. Going to market this week are Brand "X" cigarettes, put out by three young Manhattan admen who founded Brand "X" Enterprises. Inc. Brand "X" cigarettes are designed "for the man who is satisfied with nothing less than second best." Says Martin Solow, president of Brand "X" Enterprises: "There are millions of people who don't want to be first, who believe first place...
...Eggs movement, both Utopian schemes to aid the poor and aged. Running as the Democratic nominee for Governor on an E.P.I.C. platform in 1934, Sinclair got 879,000 votes to Republican Frank Merriam's 1,138,000. Ham-and-Eggs, cooked up by a radio announcer and two admen, attracted wide public support (and several notorious scoundrels), forced a special referendum on its $3O-Every-Thursday proposal for California to pay off $1.5 billion in annual pensions with worthless scrip. It lost by a narrow margin...

As for television: "I think their spoon-feeding of the American public has resulted in a corruption and an ignorance that may sink this country," says Sahl solemnly. He wants, however, to destroy all the admen and network executives who have kept him at harm's length and most of the time...
...Research. Barclays' film is one of the most successful feats in a new and challenging field of advertising especially geared to the African market. Before 1945 there was virtually no advertising by European or U.S. firms designed for Africans. Today, with African purchasing power blossoming, admen in London and New York are working hard to sell the Africans their wares. So far, the market is not very big (advertisers spend only $1,400,000 a year to reach Nigeria's 35 million people), but Africa's future is so promising that firms that want a part...
