...global roll call. Europe was an economic ruin; Russia was still reeling; Japan was shattered; China and Southeast Asia were torn by revolution. By comparison, the U.S. seemed a privileged party indeed. It boasted 40% of the world's income and a burgeoning economy.

Heese, 54, as president, the agency tapped Executive Vice President Victor G. Bloede, 48. An account man for the past four of his 17 years at Benton & Bowles, Bloede rose through the copy department. He promised to emphasize...
...that "advertising should never be so much fun that it interferes with selling," the creative men are unquestionably having all the fun. One Madison Avenue recruiter complains that today a hard-up agency may "have to pay $50,000 to get a man worth $18,000." But says Richard Rich, 37, of Wells, Rich, Greene, "a minute on the air costs $50,000, and that is an enormous responsibility...
