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.

h.i.s for Mathematics Majors

Playboy Sept. 1964
     This week I'll be showing four ads from h.i.s.  They ran all of them in Sept. 1964, which I thought odd, as I've never seen any company run that many full-page ads in a single magazine before.
Ad text:
If this h.i.s suit consists of jacket, Post-Grad slacks, Piper slacks and reversible vest - how many ways can you wear the suit and how long will it take you to get a date from a Playmate?  Answer: put on the combination you like best then turn to the center gatefold; she's waiting for you to take her out.  The 4 pieces, tailored of luxurious Reverse Twist in soft new clay tones; also Cambridge, Black, Olive; only $39.95 (slightly higher in the West).  Zippers by Talon.
