Now we get more backstory of how Don tricked Roger to hire him from the Fur company back in 1955. We now know he worked as a car salesman when Anna caught him, then moved to the Fur company and won over Betty with a fur in 1954, Sally was born in 1955. and it took Don ONLY FIVE YEARS to be where we saw him in Season 1 in 1960- a meteoric rise and why Bert Copper gave him the Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged since he was such a star, It even lets us know why McCann tried ti lure him away in 1960 with the pay raise, golf clubs and hiring Betty as a Coca Cola model -since EVERYONE was drooling over Don. And now in early 1965 we see how far he has come with a CLEO despite his personal life imploding

That KLAN ad was A REAL ad by Johnson against Goldwater- aired once and pulled over the extreme controversy. That and the DAISY ad with the countdown to nuclear launch helped lead to a LBJ landslide

The CLEO is a REAL award started just a few years before 1965 when this episode takes place

The CLIO award was Friday afternoon/evening, he had the fling with Miss National anthem on Friday/Saturday and then hooked up with the waitress on Saturday to blackout and wakeup Sunday- so a close to 48 hour bender- Peggy confirms that she has been calling since Friday to let him know he stole Jane's cousin's Life Cereal idea
