    Few have traced the path of the development of advertising from the late nineteenth century to 1930. In Russel Johnston’s Selling themselves: the emergence of Canadian advertising his aim is to uncover this path. There are three themes covered throughout Johnson’s synthetic approach to advertising that appear within the chapters, professionalization, the transformation of the industry and the Canadian adworkers relationship to Americans.
