Biographical / Historical:

Trained as an artist, Mr. Szalay began his career in 1931 as an assistant art director at J. Walter Thompson, a Philadelphia-based advertising agency. In 1958 he moved to Ted Bates and Company on Fifth Avenue, New York, where he worked as Studio Manager (or Bull Pen Manager). In the early 1960s he was promoted to Manager of the Art Department, where he was responsible for the Art Directors, the Art Department staff and the Studio. At that time the Bull Pen consisted of about 25 illustrators, letterers, and mechanical men who pieced together the work of the illustrators and letterers. Painted in tempera or water color, with handlettered copy, the resulting comprehensives are nearly as fine in their execution as the final printed ads, and were used to pitch the account to the client. Those ultimately used can be identified by the comment, criticism, and authorization notations in the margins. By 1967, management at Ted Bates & Co. had determined that the ad comps system was too costly, and switched to the use of art director's roughs -- rough conceptual sketches executed in magic marker. At the same time, the account management system was restructured, with creatives and artists assigned to individual accounts instead of receiving their assignments through the Art Department Manager. Mr. Szalay retired from Ted Bates & Co. in 1968.
