Why Advertising Icons Linger in Our Minds
Ellen Havre Weis of the Museum of Modern Mythology explains how figures like Tony the Tiger and the Quaker Man endure in American culture. She notes television from the 1950s helped these characters become demi god like, living on as consumers perpetuate their existence. Weis will speak to the Advertising Federation of Cedar Rapids at Collins Plaza, noon Thursday, with admission $9 members $13 non members.
