Rowell, George Presbury. Forty years an advertising agent, 1865–1905. Printers’ ink pub.
“This is a most engaging volume—this breezy gossipy story of the life and observations of an advertising man.... You will find mentioned among Mr. Rowell’s acquaintances most of the names that you have ever seen associated with pills, lotions, hair restorers, and panaceas generally. Mr. Rowell speaks quite familiarly of these great men and supplies much curious inside information—all in the friendliest spirit. His anecdotes are not, however, confined to patent medicine people; he tells stories of famous newspaper publishers all over the country, beginning with Boston of forty years ago and ending with New York of last year; he reveals a number of prison-house secrets and supplies gossip about many statesmen and men of affairs.”—N. Y. Times.
