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.

Two-fer Thursday - Maker's Mark

Playboy Nov. 1967
A frank statement regarding the price of Maker's Mark.  
No argument in favor of the value or the quality.  It's got a high price.  Deal with it.

A frank statement about Villa D'Este.  It smells good.  Well done.
