...have her picture taken with the district's top salesman. Even Veteran Rex Marshall, who does commercials for four sponsors each week, is trying hard to adjust to the trend by wearing four different hats as the occasion requires.

Everywhere, the ear was assaulted by pitchmen peddling Nescafé, Cinzano, Perrier water, soap flakes, rubber tires.
