Get the Habit first used in Muscatine Journal claim
Long letter from Thomas C. Lewis, former Muscatine Journal advertising manager now in Eau Claire, Wis, claims the Journal originated the catchphrase Get the Habit in 1908 with Lilly’s February sale. He traces phrases from the Journal to trade journals and ads across the country, noting the phrase spread worldwide and into fiction.
