What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

Saving Up for the Big Bucks

National Geographic 1964
     That's a large dollar.  Not sure where you could spend it.  It's definitely worth more in silver than it is at face-value.  Impractical.

     And everyone knows it.  That man's just reading his paper, holding up his giant coin, while passers-by give him all kinds of looks.  Incredulity (slouch hat on left).  Awe (glasses second from right).  Lust (Mlle Turquoise and Lady Fur-Shawl).  And then there's Spite.  The fedora immediately left of the dollar-haver is exuding pure malice; he just knows that dollar-haver is going to try and use that thing for bus fare.  And it's going to take all day long.  Jerk.
Ad text:  A little something to lean on.
     Even a hefty-sized man can lean with confidence on this kind of dollar.  It's a growth dollar.  It has grown big and solid on husky earnings in an Insured Savings and Loan Association.  34 million savers get extra support and extra buying power out of these growth  dollars.  You can too.  Open a savings account at your nearby Insured Savings and Loan Association.  Nothing like a little extra to lean on.
