This unprovenanced ad for piecework copywriters was posted on BoingBoing. I'd love to repurpose it the next time we're hiring word people. "No tedious study."
What he's actually doing is selling you a series of books on writing for things like greeting cards and (I assume) tiny classified ads. If you're interested, there's a box of them on Ebay right now.
Ironically, there is also a long copy advertorial version I found here.
A Google search also turned up this one in an early-70s issue of Ebony:
Note that the Ebony insertion lacks Barrett's creepy mug, unlike this one in a 1973 Bangor Daily.
