Ted Wilson papers, 1966-1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61426043

The papers of Ted Wilson, former advertising executive of the J. Walter Thompson Company, in charge of international offices primarily during the 1960s. In the collection are correspondence, office files, client files, reports, and speeches as well as some advertisements. The papers depict Wilson as a skillful administrator coping with JWT's financial difficulties resulting from the world-wide economic hardship of the mid-1970s, and illustrate Wilson's involvement in the reorganization of the company, as well as his management of several advertising account teams, including the New Holland Machine Company and the Phillips Petroleum Company. The papers mention a variety of JWT company operations, including company programs such as Communispond, while touching on a variety of social issues including the employment of minorities and the Watergate affair. There is no material in this collection documenting the early years of Wilson's career or life after his retirement in 1977. The collection also lacks materials dating from 1971 through mid-1973, the period during which Wilson worked in JWT's Chicago Office.
