Kiffin completed the 1910/1911 school year at Washington & Lee but still hadn’t decided on a major. His mother told him that “he needed to learn the worth of a dollar” so he formed “The Southern Press Bureau” with three friends. Kiffin then traveled west, through the northern US and southern Canada, selling and helping to prepare advertising supplements for local newspapers. This picture shows Kiffin (left) with two customers, presumably in Montana. He formed his own advertising agency in San Francisco, but eventually moved back to the South. In January 1914 he moved into an apartment in Atlanta, GA with his brother Paul, who was working as a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution. When World War 1 erupted in Europe, they left Atlanta and sailed to France. (Photo courtesy of Sybil Robb)
