Playboy’s Girl Friday

An ad exec’s private secretary is a pretty hot prospect herself

This month, the credit for Playmate discovery goes to a sharp-eyed space salesman on Playboy’s advertising staff. During a call on the account executive of a hot ad prospect, our boy’s peepers lighted on 117 pounds of pulchritude named Jacquelyn Prescott. She is this particular ad exec’s valued private secretary, trouble-shooter, human tickler file and all-‘round Girl Friday. It seemed to our salesman that she would also make a most valued Girl Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so when he finished his pitch to her boss, he tried one on her. He learned that Miss Prescott is talented as well as efficient and beautiful: she makes a hobby of sketching, he found out, and harbors a secret desire to design the costumes for a lavish Broadway musical. As we said, this fellow is a space salesman, and he successfully sold this sexy secretary on the idea of occupying space on a certain triple-page center-spread. He sold the exec on advertising in Playboy, too.
