Frazer dramatizes new car with daring Hartford display
Washington Frazer, Boston sales manager for a major auto maker, dramatized a 1941 model by hoisting it outside the Hotel Bond on a 12th floor ballroom window. A crane and jib lift carried the 3300 pound car into view, driven into the ballroom, and back out, costing just $300, drawing 600 dealers and salesmen. The lesson: dramatize products to grab attention.
