    No full text
    F. L. Bates was an author on the Lincoln assassination and a lawyer. He believed Booth escaped the Garrett Farm barn. In the bulk of this letter Bates explains, at least to his satisfaction, that he has a tintype of a man he believes to be Booth, which can prove his belief about Booth's escape to others.As a young man in Granbury, Texas, Bates met local barkeep John St. Helen, who claimed to be John Wilkes Booth, long a fugitive following his murder of Abraham Lincoln. Bates believed St. Helen's story. Years later when another would-be Booth, David George, committed suicide in Oklahoma, Bates viewed the body and decided it was that of his old acquaintance St. Helen. Bates acquired the corpse and for years he and his heirs exhibited the mummified remains throughout the South. Bates promoted his contention in "Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," published in 1907, which included a purported confession

It is part of the "How Do You Spell Relief?" advertisements, created by the Ted Bates Agency for the American Chicle Company. The famed slogan was created by Jack Kendrick, a copywriter for the Ted Bates Agency throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. The full slogan is as follows; "How Do You Spell Relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S." Rolaids is an American brand of calcium and magnesium-based antacid produced by Procter & Gamble.

    John Bates Clark: The first American marginalist as a social economist

    No full text
    We analyze the content of four articles by John Bates Clark published between 1878 and 1887, during his Christian Socialist period in order to show that next to the marginalist Clark and beyond the neoclassical principles outlined in The Distribution of Wealth, the whole Clark's work is a strongly coherent body, deeply rooted in positions less extreme than the ones held by more reformer-minded economists like Richard T. Ely or John R. Commons containing an array of different contributions to political economy displaying a certain originality and coherence, and enrolling in a thematic environment that today would be broadly defined as social economy. In particular, the main ideas emerging from this selection of papers are his organismic idea of society, the role of moral forces in shaping economic activity, and his promotion of profit sharing and cooperation as better regimes for production and distribution with respect to competition
