"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This philosophy may be true, but we do know that apples can keep you in business. Adman Leo Burnett founded one of the most famous advertising companies for his namesake in some of the most peculiar settings. He started this during the Great Depression and in Chicago. People called him crazy, they said he should be out there selling apples on the street and that would make more money. Something about this must have stirred Leo Burnett because now, sitting on the reception desk of the company is an Apple, free for the taking for all the patrons of the company that brought the world the Jolly Green Giant, Tony the Tiger and the Marlboro Man.
