Episode Quotes

Lane Pryce: London Fog. How ludicrous.
Don Draper: Really. I have one.
Bertram Cooper: So do I.
Lane Pryce: No, of course. It's just the name. There is no fog in London. There is no London fog.
Bertram Cooper: Are you sure about that?
Lane Pryce: Quite. Never was. It was the coal dust from the industrial era. Charles Dickens and whatnot.

Trivia

In this episode, Don and Sal go to Baltimore to meet with the executives at London Fog. About a year after this episode aired, the real London Fog company announced that actress Christina Hendricks (who plays Joan Holloway Harris on Mad Men) would be the face of their fall advertising campaign.
According to TV Guide, during the very first makeup test for the show (before shooting the pilot), show creator Matthew Weiner told Bryan Batt (who plays Salvatore Romano) about Sal's sex scene with a hotel bellhop - a scene that would not appear in the series until this episode.
