Historical Note
While the Advertising Copy Acceptance department is believed to have existed since the beginning of Life, it is unclear which department it resided in. The first time that the department is listed in the department heads list for Time Inc. is in 1964. Prior this point, the department could have been part of Advertising Sales or the department known as Makeup and Advertising Records which only appeared in the department heads list from 1960 to 1962.
