"A Fable about a man who rode around in a Jaguar . . . .", 1958
This full-page advertisement presents a dramatic cartoon of a man riding around inside a jaguar (the animal, that is). The story is about a young man who read this magazine and bought a jaguar car. Though the neighbors criticized him, he did well and moved on. Now they still remember and talk about him. The moral is that it is more important to influence the 130,000 readers of the magazine than the people on one's block.

The Hare, the Tortoise and High Blood Pressure, 1953
This advertisement for the Metropolitan Insurance Company in New York City plays on the fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.” The image printed at the top features the animals from the classic Aesop fable in an intense race. They play on the idea that the turtle won the race because he took life much easier than the hare, and so should those with high blood pressure.
