Much more than a warts-and-all biography, the book uses Lever as an entry-point for contextualized and comparative essays on the history of advertising; on factory paternalism, town planning, CN - HD9999.S72 L495 2008eb SN - 1526130432 SN - 9781526130433 SN - 9780719078040 KW - Leverhulme, William Hesketh Lever, : Viscount, : 1851-1925.
