Advertising quips

‘Doing business without advertising is like winking at a pretty girl in the dark. You know what you're doing, but no one else does.’

(Variously ascribed to Dick Jacobs, Ed Howe and Stuart Henderson Britt)

‘An advertising agency is 85 per cent confusion and 15 per cent commission.’

Fred Allen
American comedian (1894-1956)

‘Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it.’

Stephen Butler Leacock
Canadian humorist and satirist (1869 – 1944)
