Artemas Ward (writer)

Artemas Ward (May 28, 1848 – March 14, 1925) was an American writer and advertising executive.

Ward's first position was in 1863 with the New York State Soldiers’ Depot.

This led to an offer to manage advertising for household cleaner Sapolio Soap.

He later obtained an exclusive franchise for the advertising facilities on New York City’s elevated railway and subway systems.
