Lincoln in Advertising - Kieran McAuliffe - 10-01-2013 07:52 AM
Abraham Lincoln given hipster makeover.
G. H. Bass makes interesting use of the penny in their advertising. Bass is the originator of the penny loafer.

I like the red-plaid look. I think Lincoln would have felt very comfortable wearing it.

Not an advertisement, but funny just the same:

Here's an ad for Honda featuring both George AND Abe....

I guess Abe was a man of few words after all.

Bill, I think Edward Everett would sure agree. He wrote to Lincoln, "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."

Right on Roger! How many words to the speech? 272?
RE: Lincoln in Advertising - RJNorton - 07-04-2014 09:43 AM
Yes, and Everett's was over 13,000!
RE: Lincoln in Advertising - L Verge - 07-04-2014 10:50 AM
I just finished proofing a 17-page article that came in at about 7500 words. I don't even want to think about how fast Edward Everett would have put me to sleep.

That "mini-Abe" seen in the advertisement has been around awhile- and apparently quite popular. He is all over YouTube.
