Scrawny Necks (Mar, 1922)

Scrawny Necks
You can develop a strong, beautiful neck by exercise in your own room. Thin necks, double chins, stringy necks, short necks will become round and smooth.

If I’d had this when I was your age, I might have my own teeth now (Nov, 1934)

If I’d had this when I was your age, I might have my own teeth now

Double mint gum is good for your teeth because, like your body, teeth require lots of daily exercise. The chewing sends new life-blood to roots and nerves. Also beautifies.

Ad: JOHNSON SEA-HORSES (Feb, 1943)

This picture represents freedom. The freedom to have a three-way with two hot chicks in the middle of a lake.

Study This Picture

IT REPRESENTS FREEDOM. It represents our liberty to do those things we choose to do—to buy, with our earnings, the comforts that appeal to us—and to enjoy them as we will.

It represents the American way of distributing fine things with equality. The factory watchman, the mill superintendent, the millionaire yachtsman—all may and DO drive the same model Sea-Horse. All enjoy the same perfection of performance.

Ad: How would you like to put this smile on your husbands face? (Dec, 1936)

I can think of a much better way to put a smile on your husband’s face that doesn’t even involve a trip to the store.

How would you like to put this smile on your husbands face?

WE’LL LET YOU IN ON A SECRET…

If you want to change grouches to grins — give that man of yours Del Monte Pineapple Juice. Cater to his fondness for flavor.

Men like the rich, ripe taste of this juice — the definite pineapple flavor it has. They like its freshness—the bracing refreshment it always brings.

Ceramizing For Pleasure or Profit (Jan, 1952)

“Let me show you how to make all these beautiful objects of art, giftwares, and costume jewelry at home in spare time”

For PLEASURE or PROFIT!

Make as much as $5 for one hour’s work

Yes, I’ll send this book to you free. It tells all about one of the most astonishing discoveries of recent years. Shows how 56c worth of material can be turned into a $5.00 profit. Shows how to make “something from nothing.” A handful of twigs is transformed into a gorgeous coral-like necklace — a stunning dresser-box is made from a penny’s worth of rice and a few navy beans — a metal-like lapel pin from a live leaf.

So Americans have the thriftiest telephone service in the world and the best way to illustrate that is with a Scottish telephone-man hybrid? What about Scotland? Is their telephone service thrifty too?

It’s a Thrifty Thing… the Telephone

Americans have the world’s best bargain in telephone service. It’s good and it’s cheap. Nowhere else do people get so much service and such good and courteous service at such low cost.

THRIFTY: According to Webster, thrifty means “…Evincing thrift… Characterized by economy and good management . . . Serviceable; useful …”

Constipation Made Husband Draggy (Nov, 1936)

Just out of curiosity, what would be an example of a laxative that is habit forming?

Constipation Made Husband Draggy

HE just didn’t feel like work or play. Always draggy and worn out—often cross and irritable. But like so many women, his wife knew about Nature’s Remedy (NR Tablets). She put him wise. He found out what an astonishing difference there was in this purely vegetable laxative. Not merely partial relief. Instead thorough, cleansing action that aided in ridding his system of poisonous waste, refreshed him, made him feel like a “million.” Try NR Tablets yourself. Note how gentle they are and non-habit forming. 25 tablets —25 cents at any
drugstore.

This horse is better than most 1970 cars (Nov, 1969)

This horse is better than most 1970 cars

We are not joking. The run-of-the-mill 1970 car is an affront to progress.

It’s too expensive to buy. And too expensive to run. It’s almost impossible to park and maneuvering it through city traffic would try the nerves of a saint.

You’d be better off with a horse.

Dollars in Hares (Mar, 1922)

The thing I love about this ad is how literal the graphic is. You know that the artist was thinking something like: “Well the headline is ‘Dollars in Hares’, let’s draw a little hare here, and um, well, let’s just put a big dollar sign IN the hare. The client’s gonna love this”.
