Simons and hlkhelson Acclaimed
For Vision in Television Age'

(Also See Story Abo\rt Leonard
Simons Fund on Page

Zion Age reports, the agency has
turned, down large national ac-
counts. The reason for no mil-
lion dollar accounts, Simons
says, "We dont' have any mil-
lion dollar headaches either."
Together since their youth,
the two men started in business
when Simons was 25 and Mich-
elson 26. Their first enterprise
was a jewelry mat service, .which
realized $25,000 for each at the
end of the first year.
At the advice of their bank
president, they invested in
stocks, and, as a result, had to
start all over again after- the
1929 crash. Even in the depres -
Zion, however, they always kept
their firm in the black.
In spite of their TV success,
which has increased their busi-
ness vastly in the past seven
years, Messrs. Simons and Mich-
elson persist in not expanding
their business, recalling the days
when they burned the midnight
oil.
They explain it simply, "We
want to spend more time with
our families and for extra-
curricular activity." For Simons,
the article continues, this means
golf, plus almost any civic ac -
tivity which occurs in Detroit.
For Michelson, it means promot-
ing the annual Goodfellow foot-
ball game, talking about the
game with his 17-year-old
daughter and 12-year-old son,
or reading anything on which
he can lay his hands."

An article appearing in the
December issue of Television Age
credits Leonard Simons and
Lawrence Michelson with having
the foresight to be prepared for
the emergence of television
when it arrived in Detroit in
1947.
The two men. who jointly spell
the sucess of the Simons-
Michelson Advertising Agency,
sent one of its women staff
members to Chicago to study
techniques of television and TV
advertising.
When WWJ-TV took the air as
the first channel in Michigan,
Messrs. Simons and Michelson
had two shows ready to go. To••
day, over a third of the agency's
$2,500,000 in total billings are
from television.
The article points out that
S-M, often a first in Michigan,
has taken the initiative in a
number of campaigns that were
swallowed up quickly by other
firms throughout the nation.
In the 1930's, shortly after the,
25-year-old agency was organiz-
ed, S-M invented the first ultra .
short (10 second) spot an-
nouncement for radio. The client
was Zip Gasoline, long sin
bought out by a group of major
refiners.
Going to a local radio station,
Simons and Michelson struck up
an agreement to repeat 100
times a week: "Z-I-P, Zip, that's
the name of the world's finest
gasoline." The result was that
Zip sales went even faster than
Zip-filled cars, the magazine
DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-1 1
says.
