Before Williams, the old Wieboldt's department store introduced me to writing about electronic games. At Wiebolt's downtown headquarters, I composed ads for Chicago and national newspapers. During my 10-month tenure at Wiebolt's, I authored 1,100 ads.

The toy department was one of my 11 accounts. My video game ads covered early home consoles. Atari's 2600, Coleco's Colecovision and Mattel's Intellivision weren't out yet. However could the world survive? We had more primitive, but nonetheless very entertaining video games: I remember pitching the wonders of Coleco's marvelous Telstar console. Wieboldt's sold TVs, so I think I also recollect ads for Magnavox Odyssey. I don't know if those ads sprang from my paleolithic Royal typewriter or not. Regrettably, I normally didn't handle the TV account.
