Thanks to Prof. Neumann for this. A fascinating lecture, with excellent control of the presentation, as one would expect!

In Baltimore in the thirties, we had the Bromo Seltzer Tower, an Italianate style building, with a giant glass bottle of Bromo Seltzer on top! The bottle is gone now, and the tower remains, but it was the humorous presentational style, I think, that caused it to work on both advertising and architecture levels.
