...would it have looked something like this?
...seems legit.
I saw this circa-1969 advertisemen in a "Vintage Ads" thread on Reddit and thought it was funny...
That's interesting and a bit funny. The man in the ad looks like a character in The Twight Zone, "Walking Distance" about an advertising man.
I love old stuff like this plus the picture is hilarious.

"Short paragraphs" sounds like an early paid version of Twitter!

I seem to have come to HP just before all the changes. I have put in almost F/T hours on the days I write my hubs. I've read whole books, not only the ones I review, but for material for my hubs. I think what I write is well written and informative. I kept hoping as I got more readers, the money...

All of my Hubs fluctuate between the 65 - 79 range with one or two that sometimes sneak in the 80 - 85. I'm just curious what it takes to get one or most of mine to stay about 80 or maybe even reach 90 +
