[Ads-l] Who coined "Tomorrow is always the busiest day"?

[John Doe]

Here's the earliest cite for the proverb:

Cooperative manager and farmer - Vol 20 (1930)

There are other ideas [for making waterers] just as good. Of course, you
know that 'tomorrow' is always the busiest day of the week, so don't put
this off.

And one that credits the Spanish for this:
Railroad Record -- 1943
