And from the VICTORIA list, someone notes that a British company selling consumer goods (don't know which one) spent ten thousand pounds on advertising in 1855. For those of us who think that mass advertising campaigns are a purely modern phenomenon....

Wish I had here a picture to share of Carlyle's ten-foot perambulating hat.

I wish you did, too. Man, I'd like to see a shoot-out between that and a ten-gallon hat.

Who would win?
