McCann moves in, Don Draper moves on

Many thought that all this writer had in common with "Mad Men"'s Don Draper was a retro 1950s wardrobe and a history of bad slogans.

But no--as the series winds to an end, with Draper's advertising agency taken over by McCann Erickson, there is this: we toiled for years at an ad agency that in what passes for real life was bought by McCann.

It was, however, a pain-free transition.

With "Mad Men" gone, we thought Don Draper's suits might find a home in Portland's American Advertising Museum, but, sadly, the museum also is gone.

In its place is a car dealership. Special deal on Edsels.
