The "birth of the automobile" in 1835 fueled billboards in the United States? Not right.
The first purpose-built automobile, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, was built in 1886.
The era of the "horseless carriage" began around the 1890s.
The Model T came at the turn of the century (1908).
In 1900, there were only a few thousand automobiles in the entire United States.
1892, what a great start for Direct Mail. This year also marks the first and last time direrct mail prompted a 25% conversion rate!
