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.

Burlington Socks

Playboy Sept. 1964

Ad text:
Here is intelligent footwear, the perfect back-to-school wardrobe.  The corduroy Gold Cup Casuals with the glasses cost $5. Wear them as slippers or to pad around campus. They're hand-lasted like fine shoes, heeled and soled for long ear, innersoled with foam to put bounce in your step. If you prefer the plaid Casuals, $4 is the price; and $3.50 will buy the vinyls.  Their sole-mates are famous Gold Cup Socks which you'll recognize by their show of colors. There are 35, but we didn't have room here.  They're soft as cashmere, rugged as their 75% Orlon, 25% stretch nylon blend.  Cost $1.50.  The pure white crew sock is the Burlington Olympic. It's the official choice of the U.S. Olympic Team, and they should know.  You can too for $1. Which brings is to Top Brass, the dress sock. It reaches up 16" to just over the calf - and stays there - a perfect cover up of 70% wool, 30% stretch nylon at $2.  Chances are your men's store has everything on this page. If not, ask us.
