Wednesday Advertising Day.
On the back of some of the Beetle Baileys I showed 'yesterday' were some more samples of Pat Guinan's supposed Going to Town column (which was actually a very obvious way of packing together a lot of small ads under a column umbrella). Unfortunately I haven't finished scanning those yet, but I did get a lot of new black and white copoes. I have pasted those together with the old ones I had (which do include some color ones). Last time I posted them I mentioned that the series might have been made by Johnstone and Cushing, but after having seen so many Lou Fine ads I am pretty sure he took charge of the account somewhere in late 1950 or early 1951. As far as I know Fine worked from a studio of his own, so if he did not do the ones before that (and my earliest sample is from 1947) I am not sure who were responsible when and why the change was made. At least the vignettes became a lot more interesting when Fine took over.
The series went on into 1954, when it seems it may have been downsized.
