Almost a shoo-in for three prizes (best of the big-car section, best woman entrant, best Queensland entrant), Geordie Anderson took time out to go home, do her washing, and check up on her daughters' housekeeping. Refreshed by a nap, she whipped through Canberra so fast that she was picked up for speeding. But apart from a damaged windshield, her Jag was still in good condition. Geordie finished far up in the overall standings (behind five Volkswagens), easily earned her three prizes, and went home with $1,215 plus assorted trophies, including an electric razor and a supply...

...well that P. & G. sent him on a cross-country tour. After six months of driving up and down country roads, Morgens reported to his surprised bosses that their first job was to sell people on cleanliness, then soap. Morgens set up the company's first inside copy section to get away from flossy ads, keep themes basic; in 1942 was put in charge of all advertising.
