Frank Presbrey is perhaps best known for his monumental book, The History and Development of Advertising, a complete and authentic biography of advertising from Early Roman times until 1929. His contributions to advertising, however, are even more varied than his accomplishments as an historian. Presbrey was one of the early practitioners of large-scale national advertising in the hotel, steamship and travel businesses, and he was an early advocate of life insurance advertising. At one point he was simultaneously the advertising agent of the three largest life insurance companies and the developer of their public relations and advertising procedures. He is credited with the idea of forming the original Advertising Agents Association, which later became the nucleus of the American Association of Advertising Agencies. Presby was active and influential in the movement that increased the agency commission from 10 to 15 percent and he was also active in forming the Advertising Club of New York. His was also the Honorary Vice President of the Boy Scouts America and Chairman of the Boys' Life Committee.

I try to familiarize myself with the things I post & utilize my preferred internet search engine of choice to learn more about it but I am a country mile away from being considered anything near an expert & thus am eager to learn from those who are. You, dear reader, likely know much more than me about this item than me. If you feel I missed something or am in any inaccurate, I am keen to hear from you!

For those of you visiting this item who are not also eBay sellers, I want to share with you a little information about the fees eBay collects from us sellers. eBay charges a "Final Value Fee" of 13.25% on not just the price of the stamp, but also on shipping and taxes. Plus a 40¢ "per order fee" (on orders >$10, otherwise 30¢.) This means eBay charges sellers 13.25% of what buyers pay in shipping and taxes, money that sellers never see or touch. So, in reality, the actual eBay tax rate is over 16.3% of the final sale price of the item. And fees paid to eBay by sellers are nearly 23% higher than if eBay just taxed sellers for the final sale price of the item. EXAMPLE: I sell a widget for $45, and the buyer also pays $4.55 in shipping and $2.70 in sales tax. eBay charges me a 13.25% fee of $52.25, the combined total of the item itself, taxes & shipping. Meaning that net of fees I receive $37.68 from the sale of that $45 widget, meaning 16.3% of the price of the widget goes to eBay in the form of fees. $45 @ 13.25% = $5.96 in fees if fees were based only on the sale price of the widget $45 + $4.55 + $2.70 = $52.25 total of the sale price of the widget, plus shipping and taxes $52.25 @ 13.25% + $0.40 "per order fee" per order fixed amount = $7.32 total fees paid by seller to eBay $7.32/$45 = 16.3% actual eBay fee as a percentage of the widget's sale price $7.32 - $5.96 = $1.36 in additional fees paid on shipping and taxes $1.12/$6.72 = 22.8% higher fees on the combined sale price of the widget, shipping and taxes than if the fee was only paid on the sale price of the widget. $45 - $7.32 = $37.68 is the net profit received by a seller after eBay fees (83.7% of the sale price)
