Instead, they partnered with central mail-order syndicates. Marian Martin (along with Anne Adams) was one of the largest proprietary brands managed by these syndicates (specifically Reader Mail, Inc.). To make readers feel like they were buying an exclusive product from their local paper, the syndicates printed custom mailing envelopes marked \"Chicago Daily Times\". The pattern illustration sheet inside omitted the brand name entirely.\u003cbr\u003e*** Marketed via small, single-column text advertisements in the newspapers where the ads featured a small line drawing of the dress alongside a brief description and a mail-in coupon.
