...into an Estes Kefauver of suburbia. He has climbed aboard Manhattan-bound ferryboats to shake hands, waded into lakes, scoured supermarkets, logged 6,000 miles on the converted milk truck. Along with this "Operation Doorbell" went "Operation Coffee Cup." By the hundreds, New Jersey women are sitting down to sip coffee from Forbes-decorated cups, dab at their lips with paper napkins imprinted with a Forbes family cooky recipe, listen to a tape-recorded message from the candidate...

In its most recent campaign Bacardi rum (which last year broke industry tradition by using a woman in a liquor ad) urged readers: "When tensions build up-take time to relax." National Distillers adopted the slogan "Sip a Little Sunshine, Pardner" for its Old Sunny Brook Brand whisky, recently changed it to "Pour Yourself a Smile. Neighbor" when the Government frowned. The French National Association of Cognac Producers earlier ran a series of U.S. ads describing cognac as the "harbinger of good appetite, a gentle agent to relax tension...
