About this episode
"run down to the advertising agency and have this put in the evening papers" [BLUE]
We know Sherlock Holmes valued the agony column; we discussed that previously on Episode 50. Looking back at a paper by an advertising executive from the mid-20th century — a real-life Mad Man — we find the makings of an expert copywriter and marketer.
We even identify a media buyer. All of this and more, related to advertising in the Canon. It's just a Trifle.
