Foreword This book came about more or less by accident. In the spring of 1942, while lunching one day with George Grain in Ghicago, I began telling him about a book I wanted to write on a certain period of American business history, as seen from an advertising mans point of view. I was on my way west, to my ranch inN ew Mexico; and George urged me to get at this writing there, doing it first in weekly installments for Advertising A ge, Well knowing the power of closing dates as a taskmaster, I thought this a good idea. A few weeks later I began a routine of making daily notes for such a book, but found myself handicapped by the lack of historical reference material. As a result, these daily notes began to take on, more and more, a current flavor; and this led eventually to the idea of theD iary as a way to appease George simportunities for the promised material. The Diary ran in Advertising A ge anonymously because I felt that would give me more freedom of expression, and involve me in less labor over controversial subjects. A lso, because I had a sly notion that this would get it more word-of-mouth advertising from the curious as it did. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

This short but powerful book has helped thousands of writers, artists, scientists, and engineers to solve problems and generate ideas. Now let James Webb Young's unique insights help you be more creative in every area of life. Advertising mogul William Bernbach wrote, "James Webb Young is in the tradition of some of our greatest thinkers when he describes the workings of the creative process. The results of many years in advertising have proved to him that the key element in communications success is the production of relevant and dramatic ideas. He not only makes this point vividly for us but shows us the road to that goal." Newly designed and typeset in a 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Excerpt from The Diary of an Ad Man: The War Years June 1, 1942-December 31, 1943 This book came about more or less by accident. In the spring of 1942, while lunching one day with George Crain in Chicago, I began telling him about a book I wanted to write on a certain period of American business history, as seen from an advertising man's point of view. I was on my way west, to my ranch in New Mexico; and George urged me to get at this writing there, doing it first in weekly installments for Advertising Age, Well knowing the power of closing dates as a taskmaster, I thought this a good idea. A few weeks later I began a routine of making daily notes for such a book, but found myself handicapped by the lack of historical reference material. As a result, these daily notes began to take on, more and more, a current flavor; and this led eventually to the idea of the Diary as a way to appease George's importunities for the promised material. The Diary ran in Advertising Age anonymously because I felt that would give me more freedom of expression, and involve me in less labor over controversial subjects. Also, because I had a sly notion that this would get it more word-of-mouth advertising from the curious - as it did.
