Quote:Actually, one of the earliest forms of 'advertising' found was a remnant of a greek prostitute's shoe (please don't ask me how they knew it actually did belong to a prostitute...I just read this in a book and it was short of some of the interesting detail).... it had the words 'follow me' in studs on the sole.
Oh - 6th Cbce by the way.
paul,I don't think it was found,i think some ancient writer mentions this,that prostitutes formed the word "follow me" with their hobnails so men could see their footprints. Also an interesting clue that back them modesty was required even by prostitutes. I don't think it needs to be written anywhere today that one is prostitute to understand it!
