Fairfax M. Cone

Fairfax Mastick Cone (21 February, 1903 - 1977) was an American businessperson, advertising executive and the former director of the American Association of Advertising Agencies.

Early education

In 1921 Cone enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, originally intending to be an illustrator. Eventually he graduated with a degree in English. Due to a problem with his credentials, Cone got a job as an advertising clerk with the San Francisco Examiner rather than a teaching fellowship. In 1928, Cone left the paper for an advertising agency, thus embarking on a career that would leave an indelible mark on his life.
