Print Ads from the 30s to 60s

I had these emailed to me, and found them a fascinating reminder of the cultural and health changes that we have made through the ages...

Either nothing at all was advertised for 30 years, or the pictures don't show up.

Maybe Firefox for Mac behaves better?

Those are wild! Douching with Lysol?

LOL!
I love old ads, even the ones that aren't as comical as these.
My office has a ton of old National Geographic dating back to the 1930s. I just like to flip through and look at the old ads. I like those better than the hangy flappy bewbies!

If the tapeworms don't work for you you can always try a little...



If that doesn't rock your boat try some good old fashion...

As a guy that thinks about product liability all day long, this is one of the most horrifying things I think I've seen in a while.
