An author of a good book pops up with a nice display in the heart of SOHO NYC. Diary of An Oxygen Thief, by Anonymous. Great cover art. Gets attention and hopefully brisk sales.
DavidsTea, from Montreal, arrives in NYC with kickass merchandizing, stellar and bright branding on each product. And tons of teas. Bleecker Street.

Long copy sells. LIFE Magazine, September 1939
