The publicity quotes go well before Stanley Fish:

"Wild Bill" Had Dismal Fling" [Hornell, NY] Evening Tribune-Times,
9/25/1923 p. 8 col 4
" "Any sort of publicity is good publicity for me," sayeth "Wild Bill"
Lyons."

"TOPICS OF THE TIMES." New York Times; Jun 8, 1927; pg. 24
"Now that they are being revealed, people wonder whether the theatres
were sincere when they agreed that "any publicity is good publicity." "




"Saga of Circus Mellow, Rich And Historical" LUCIOUS BEEBE, OAKLAND
TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, JULY 5, 1936 p. 2B col 6
"It can't be bought for any amount of money, and there is no such thing
as bad publicity. "  [This was from a review of 'This Way to the Big
Show' by Dexter Fellows, so the quote may well be in that book.]


"Looking at Hollywood" Ed Sullivan Chicago Daily Tribune ; Apr 8, 1940;
pg. 17
"There is no such thing as bad publicity."
