Thanks Ryan, never heard of the man before but he’s another of those unsung heroes. He not only had an idea, he had a purpose.
I'll join the choir...never knew this story. Very cool. This internet place has gotten very cluttered, but I'm glad the HAMB continues to hold it down.
In the early sixties there were only three advertising agencies in the speed equipment industry; Elliot-McMullen, Stan Goldstein and Fall & ***ociates. Ed's son, George was editor of Pop Hot Rodding. Stan hooked up with Jim Davis, former editor of Super Stock to form the first east coast-west coast agency. Back in the day (I hate that term) if a client company changed ad agencies, Petersen Publishing wouldn't accept an ad from the new agency if the previous agency was still owed money by the client. The speed equipment industry was a pretty tight knit community in the sixties and seventies.
