爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
He was again fortunate in that his desk was placed in the advertising department of the house; and here he found, as manager, an old-time Brooklyn boy friend with whom he had gone to school: Frank N. Doubleday, to-day the senior partner of Doubleday, Page and Company. Bok had been attracted to advertising through his theatre programme and Brooklyn Magazine experience, and here was presented a chance to learn the art at first hand and according to the best traditions. So, whenever his stenographic work permitted, he assisted Mr. Doubleday in preparing and placing the advertisements of the books of the house.

白话
博克的运气再次不错：他的办公桌被安排在出版社的广告部，而广告部经理正是他小时候在布鲁克林一起上学的朋友弗兰克·N·道布尔戴（后来成为双日出版社的资深合伙人）。博克此前通过剧院节目单和《布鲁克林杂志》的经历对广告产生了兴趣，现在正好有机会按照行业最佳传统从头学习广告艺术。于是，只要速记工作允许，他就主动帮道布尔戴准备和投放出版社书籍的广告。他不是等别人安排，而是抓住近水楼台的条件，把同事关系变成学习资源。
