I have been reading this book over the past few days. I found it on the bookshelves at the hairdresser where they sell books in aid of charity. It particularly interested me as it was about a woman called Evelyn Ryan who had ten children and who earned prizes and money by entering slogan competitions run by various brands in the U.S. - and my own Mum spent many hours working on such competitions and referring to manuals that helped with writing slogans that would win. My Mum won a number of things, including a fridge freezer which lasted for years! She also won £500 on Spot the Ball - a shared first prize. She resented not winning outright and getting the full amount, I remember!! It was still a lot of money for us in the 1960’s. I remember how hard she worked on the competitions and Evelyn Ryan spent far more time even than Mum did! Such an interesting book, written by one of her daughters.
