Follies of the Mad Men #106

[From Life magazine for September 12, 1949.]

This is someone's foot. With a face drawn on the sole. Wearing a collar and tie, glasses, and a hat. With fake "head" hair attached. I know it's "just a drawing." But the concept is ludicrous and creepy. I will not buy your shoes, Mr. Roblee!

It's hard to get a foot hold in the advertisement business unless you put your whole sole into it. It's even harder to arch the gap between amateur and pro if your mentor is a heel.
