So what made MNJ an incubator par excellence? The answer, it is the ‘company culture’ Jabbar created – and this, years, if not decades, before the term became an HR buzzword.

With our current knowledge of the hazards of smoking, it is perhaps not right to see the past advertising of cigarettes through rose-tinted glasses. Yet, cigarette advertising of the seventies and eighties was highly successful, with a personification of glamour that left an indelible mark on advertising trends of those decades. Each brand strove to create a distinct persona in a highly competitive market.

Asphalt shingles—made of asphalt reinforced by fiberglass or organic materials like wood or cellulose—are sold in multiple sizes and colors in a thicker, multi-layered “dimensional” variety (pictured above) and a flatter, thinner, single-layered “three-tab” variety. These types of shingles are the least expensive and most widely available, costing around $90 per square (a roofing measurement equivalent to 100 square feet of material)—not including any additional insulation, underlayment, or labor—and lasting 15 to 30+ years. Of the two styles, dimensional shingles cost half as much and last twice as long as three-tab.

This, perhaps, is due to the fact that although they worked in different departments, be it production, creative or client services while at MNJ, they were exposed to each other’s functions and did not work in silos, as is wont to happen today.

THE MXA GANG USED TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT DOING A 350cc FOUR-STROKE SHOOTOUT. It seems funny to do a 350cc four-stroke shootout when there are only two readily available models on American showroom floors—and both of them roll down the exact same assembly line. Every time a KTM mechanic would ask us if they were going to win the 2018 MXA 450 shootout, we’d say, “We can’t tell you that, but we promise you that an Austrian bike will win the 350 shootout.” They didn’t find that as funny as we did.

For example, former electrician Earl Gifford sued the National Gypsum Company in 1983 after he developed mesothelioma. From 1948 to 1952, Gifford had worked alongside carpenters using Gold Bond cement flatsheet while converting Army barracks into apartment and dormitory buildings.
