Vintage Ads

I always wanted one of these when I was a teenager. I had to settle for some small, aluminum calendars that you would bend around the watchband and have to change monthly.

I remember worrying about getting one of these!

This is the only magazine ad I've ever found where the US Presidential candidate is asking for campaign donations.

I saw this movie in the fall of 1968 with my dad and older brother. Wow, Jane Fonda almost drove 13 year old me crazy!

One of the things that kind of surprised me when I first started looking at vintage ads were the abundance of automobiles that I'd never even heard of. I will be posting a series of those and also more familiar brands under the post name of, "Cars I'd Never Heard Of." I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

1904 Peerless


1904 Pierce Arrow


1904 Pope Toledo

this poster is more vintage...


But I prefer this adaptation the most

Robert Shaw, one of my favorite actors. He starred in such movies as Jaws, The Sting, From Russia With Love, A Man For All Seasons and a host of other great films. He died from a heart attack at the much too young age of 51.

Look at all the sicknesses this could cure, amazing!
Wikipedia has a great article about a famous legal case involving this product.

I wish this brand were still available. Maybe then I wouldn't hate doing the wash so much :)
