Thought
for the day
"Advertising is of the very essence of democracy. An election goes on every minute of the business day across the counters of hundreds of thousands of stores and shops where the customers state their preferences and determine which manufacturer and which product shall be the leader today, and which shall lead tomorrow"
- Bruce Barton (1955), chairman of BBDO, quoted in James B. Simpson
