Historical Context
John Blair, a native of Chicago, worked in newspaper advertising sales and as an agency executive following his graduation from UW-Madison. With money borrowed from his life insurance policy, he founded the partnership that in 1935 would become known as John Blair & Company.
He was an early and influential promoter of radio advertising. In 1948, after greatly expanding his radio station sales representative business, he established the industry’s first agency of its kind devoted to selling spot television advertising. With offices in most major American cities, John Blair & Company became the representative for 120 TV stations and 196 radio stations. The company also owned printing operations and the largest direct mail business in the country.
