Author Ford Motor Company via their advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson. Not unusual in the 1950s and 1960s for a sponsor (Ford sponsored this show), network or studio to distribute publicity material through an advertising or public relations agency. Ford used their ad agency for this; the company distributed quite a bit of material in this way. Ford was a sponsor of I Love Lucy at one time and used the agency for this purpose also.
