This information-packed manual is a must-have reference for anyone who sells with words. Now you can learn from the best, including Joseph H. Appel, Bruce Barton, Harry E. Cleland, George L. Dyer, Claude C. Hopkins, John Starr Hewitt, and other stars of the advertising world. Newly designed and typeset in a 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

This book collects together pieces by significant figures in American advertising, including George L. Dyer, who at the time of his death left almost no other written record of his point of view. There is a substantial introduction by the editor, which interweaves the history of advertising with the history of the era of American industrial coming-of-age, touching not only on the impact of mass-production, but also the beginnings of corporate social responsibility.
