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.
Click the picture and read that description. Does it sound like a thinly-veiled nudist colony to anyone else? The whole beads-as-money thing? Way hippie.
I was particularly surprised to come across this ad for a Eurailpass. Not that a cheap-but-effective mode of transportation isn't a smart idea for young aspiring playboys, but it stands apart from the rest of the Playboy-sourced ads I've found.
For the curious: That 3-month ticket costs $210 dollars in 1969 or about $1,360 today.
Lots of magazines of yesteryear (and even nowadays, actually) ran full-page multi-ads. I didn't bother splitting this page into individual ones, since they are all travel-oriented. We've got a push for Mardi Gras in Louisiana, a resort in Daytona Beach, and a happy couple trying to sell you an Airstream knockoff. And airmail stamps, for collectors. Enjoy today's 4-for-1 deal on ads!
