What is an "ad company" though? If it's someone you pay to advertise your product for you, well that's something town criers often did for merchants so "ad companies" are at least that old.

I don't know exactly what definition they meant, but I'm confident that a crier doesn't count as an ad company.

  • Geez, if you think people don't like banner ads or billboards, you should see what they think of town criers.

    • Criers are expensive. And I'd say that mattress shop guy qualifies and he doesn't bother me that much.

      I would happily take a deal that gets rid of all tv and video ads and replaces them with as many independent criers as companies are willing to pay.
