N W Ayer and Son Mark 50 Years in Advertising
Ayer & Son celebrated its fiftieth founding anniversary in Philadelphia with a banquet at the Bellevue Stratford attended by advertising leaders and about 400 firm employees. Speakers included former President Taft and executives from American Sugar, American Telephone, Ladies Home Journal, Jordan Motor Car, and the firm. The event honored Henry N. McKinney and featured a living placard display and a portrait of F Wayland Ayer. The firm traced its rise from 1869, its open contract plan, and campaigns for Domino Sugar and Uneeda Biscuit, plus a forecast for advertising’s future.
