All Betts Are On

Saturday Advertising Day. 

Jack Betts was one of the stallwards of the Johnstone and Cushing agency in the forties nd fifties. I have show a lot of hs work for J&C asd well as some of his work before and during his time there. He disappeqred in the late fifties, something I have written about as well. At J&C, he had two major accounts, for Nestlé's chocloate drink Nesquick and one for the pain relief creme Ben-Gay. The Ben-Gay ads always featured the green monster called Peter Pain. Here are some more I gathered from my own collection. The last one in this post is not by Jack Betts, but by some combination of Elmer Wexler and Creig Flessell, two other J&C regulars. I think it is from before Betts' disappearance, but maybe it was and he dsiappeared sooner than I thought.
