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.

Botany 500 by Daroff

Playboy Sept. 1966
"Ugh, my date last night was SO pushy.  He ordered for me, decided where we went, told me what to do, and wore a Botany 500.  Girl, that's comin' on too strong!"

"Hey man, that's a really sweet hat! And you need to go to the hospital.  
Seriously.  What were you thinking?"

Wrights Slacks

Playboy Sept. 1966
Why is this guy so short?  Or is the girl a giant?  Why is he so adamant about his pants?  I mean, that girl is attractive enough that if she came along offering to iron my pants, I'd let her.  Anything for you, doll.  Though I'm not sure we can trust her; look at that cord wrapped around her ankle.  Accident waiting to happen.   At this point, I'm not sure if this ad is using misogyny as a means of selling pants, or if its a humanitarian effort to save clumsy co-eds from iron cords.
