The net gain in billings was $10 million and DDB scarcely stopped to worry. Says Foote, Cone & Belding's Founder, Fairfax Cone...

"Yes," Rouse solemnly agreed. In the months since, Rouse and Bisque have discovered that primary mineral deposits, mountains, ocean-floor ridges and trenches and island chains also lie along the Rouse belts.
