Robert Griffin
Mr. Peterson owns a furniture store specializing in ornate antiques in the baroque style. He had walking pneumonia last month but was at the store anyway. He was in one of the baroque style chairs rubbing Vicks Vapor-rub on his aching chest and neck when his hands rested on the wooden arm and he serendipitously discovered that the soothing ointment gave the furniture a wonderful, deep, rich shine.
He immediately told the other furniture store owners this trick, since their furniture was more modern in style and they were not competitors.
Soon he got reports that the Vicks treatment not only failed to work on the modern furniture, but ruined some of it. Mr. Peterson is very unpopular now, and his only consolation is that he learned one important rule:
If it ain't baroque, don't Vicks it.
