what's on  NEW YORK. When Madison Avenue became the centre of the American advertising industry in the 1920s, the first Mad Men arrived, selling the ingredients of modern life, from breakfast cereals to Henry Ford’s Model Ts. Young, talented and dapperly dressed, among their ranks was Paul Cadmus. One of a new breed, he was an advertising artist.
