GOD’S SAUSAGE. “You might just be a copywriter,” Brick Muller said, staring down at the piece of paper I’d just handed him. On it was an ad idea I’d just pounded out on the 1948 Royal typewriter he was paying me to use as a copywriter. The fact that this was his first recognition that I might be one was gratifying since I’d already been there for nine months.
The headline on that ad was “God’s Sausage.”
Brick owned a Memphis ad agency and was desperately trying to get the attention of Southern Belle, a Mississippi meat packing company, rumored to be looking for something new. The idea on that piece of paper got the agency in the door for the pitch. The ad never ran – God and sausage together being a bit too spicy even for them – but it got their attention, I got Brick’s, and an iffy job turned into a career.
All because I had some terrific sausage for lunch in a church basement across the street, talked my way into the kitchen, and found out it was Southern Belle – the only sausage good enough in 1972 for the Calvary Episcopal Church Waffle Shop, a Memphis institution dating back to 1928.

Secondly, I offer to you the gift of my time—as miles separate us—I am spending time with you as I write. Having these conveniences at my disposal certainly assists me in avoiding unwanted errors and does seem to take much less time. Maybe this physical note, with the iconic font and hand-struck ink letters will aid you in remembering a time in your childhood, in the small town in Iowa, when as a child you celebrated this special holiday. I most often write on a computer in these current days, granting me the ability to make instantaneous corrections while simultaneously providing me the indulgence of having my spelling and grammar checked....
Writers of a certain vintage speak of typewriters with great affection, and many were attached to certain brands. Ernest Hemingway banged out his best works on a Royal Quiet de Luxe and PG Wodehouse was fond of his Monarch. It's hard to imagine laptops
Vintage typewriters like mine that were recently displayed at Brooklyn's Flea Market captured the hearts of a whole new generation. Young shoppers peered at the display as if they'd stumbled upon inventions from another planet.
It hurts that the grandchildren, upon stumbling into the den upstairs in your house and discovering a vintage, still-working Remington, look up, wide-eyed, and ask: "Nana, what's that?" It hurts that finding a typewriter ribbon that will bring it back
That perfect vintage skirt. The Royal typewriter on which you'd tap out your novel. I've found that, over time, the regret over your passed-up item doesn't diminish, but how cool or perfect the thing can grow to legendary proportions.
On the eighth floor, the Cleo offices were evocatively re-created: wooden desks topped with Planet lamps, portable typewriters and overflowing ashtrays. The colour orange was evident everywhere. ''Power Row'', the Packer offices, were on level 12.
