This is Madison Avenue,
nerve center of
the advertising world.
Here in these steel and concrete
beehives are born the ideas
that decide what we, the public,
will eat, drink, drive and smoke,
and how we will dress,
sleep, shave and smell.
In all beehives, there are
workers, and there are drones.
This is a worker.
Thank you.
And this is a drone.
Jerry, honey?
You're at work.
Hmm?
Good night, darling.
Good night.
Wait a minute.
What kind of a goodnight kiss is that?
We're not married!
My! What a way
to go to work!
Now that's a woman!
Make you homesick, Fred?
Yeah!
Makes me sick
we're going home next week.
Brackett, MacAlpin
and Gaines Advertising.
Yes, I'll give him the message.
Dorothy,
Mr. Brackett in yet?
No, he isn't.
Tell merchandizing, copy and art there'll
be a meeting in my office right away.
Miss Templeton wants merchandizing, copy,
and art in her office on the double.
Looks like a rough day.
Good morning,
Mr. Webster.
Good morning.
Would you send up tomato juice,
black coffee and a masseur?
Yes, sir.
Mr. Webster wants tomato juice,
black coffee and a masseur.
Looks like a rough night.
Miller's Wax is changing agencies and if
we work fast, we can get the account.
Now, Miller's coming into town tonight.
Find out where he's staying.
I want an appointment with him
first thing in the morning.
You can't work up
a presentation by then.
We can and we will.
Here's some thoughts I had. Type
them up for the meeting, okay?
And tell research I want a complete
rundown on J . Paxton Miller.
His packaging setup, distribution
setup, sales volume,
and strong and weak
market areas.
Well, Kelly, what's new this morning
in our gray flannel jungle?
The natives are restless.
J . Paxton Miller of Miller's Wax is due
in tonight to pick up a new agency.
The account's up for grabs.
Okay, let's start grabbing.
Where's he from?
Richmond, Virginia.
Get me a book on the Civil War.
And tell research I want a complete
rundown on J . Paxton Miller.
His family background.
Will his wife be with him?
What brand of liquor does he drink?
And what kind of girls does he like?
That's a very good idea.
Thank you.
Develop it further, Leonard.
And here.
This isn't bad, either.
But what color is that floor?
Lilac.
Lilac? Leonard, who has a
I have.
Oh!
Well, Leonard, everyone isn't
as artistic as you are.
We have to sell this wax to
average, ordinary, everyday people.
Yeah, them.
Carl, I've photographed this can
of Miller's Wax from every angle,
Carl, I've photographed this can
of Miller's Wax from every angle,
with every kind of lighting but
I just can't make it look good.
Well, I think you may have hit on
the key to the whole thing, Harold.
This can. It's unattractive.
So?
When? It's 10:
30.We'll be here half the night! I live
clear the other end of the Bronx.
Believe me, the agency
that lands this account
is the one that shows Mr.
Miller the most attractive can.
Most attractive.
More bourbon, Mr. Miller?
Just a touch.
Yes, sir!
She's most attractive!
You know, I'd like to meet her.
You're going to.
We're having a party with all those
rabbits... I mean girls, tonight.
Well, sir, I'll drink to that.
More bourbon?
Just a touch.
Rebel Davis.
Yes, she's distantly related to
Jefferson Davis, our great leader.
Did you say "our" leader?
I was raised here in the north,
to the place of my birth.
Virginia.
You're a Virginia boy?
Richmond.
Well, that's where I'm from!
You are kidding!
Borned and raised!
Well, to Richmond.
Of course!
So you're one of them
Virginia Websters.
My great-grandfather fought with the
Nineteenth Virginia Volunteers.
So did my grand-daddy.
He fell during Pickett's Charge.
Mine, too!
He was following that great and
gallant captain, Elijah E. Miller.
That was my grand-daddy!
Mr. Miller,
this is a hallowed moment.
More bourbon?
Just a touch.
Son, you hear?
They're playing our song!
On your feet, Yankees.
Yahoo!
That's what I call a party!
Say, man, what happened
to that house detective?
I don't know if he jumped
Penthouse, please.
You're a little late
for the party.
There was a party
in Mr. Miller's suite?
Not a party. The party!
Hey, Jack, how about
stopping off at my pad?
What for?
Look what I'm taking home.
You think that's something?
Hi.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr.
Miller.
You'll never find me.
Mr. Miller?
Sir, I'm Carol Templeton. I'm with
Brackett, MacAlpin and Gaines.
Have them sit down.
Mr. Miller, I have
an appointment with you,
to talk about handling
your advertising account.
I've signed with Jerry Webster.
Jerry... Of Ramsey and Son?
Of the Nineteeth
Virginia Volunteers.
But I've worked up a complete presentation.
A whole campaign.
Even a new container.
Here, let me show you.
I can't. I'm flying
back to Richmond.
When?
Now, honey, now.
We're just passing
over Pittsburgh.
Mr. Miller,
please open your eyes.
Why?
I've seen everything.
Just a touch.
Mr. Brackett, this man Webster is a
disgrace to the advertising business.
Mr. Brackett, this man Webster is a
disgrace to the advertising business.
He should be barred
from Madison Avenue!
I'd like nothing better.
