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.

Yello-Bole

Playboy Oct. 1968
I doubt that!  Look at the girl right there!  She's got a Yello-Bole and there seems to be no reason why she shouldn't! Listen, buster, if you think you can keep the ladies away from Yello-Bole, then you're in for a surprise.  Hmmph!  Trying to tell us Yello-Boles are only for men... the nerve!

Interwoven Socks

Playboy Oct. 1968
Lower ad text:  Our anklets don't hang around your shoetops. Our mid-calf socks don't become anklets. And our Over-the-Calf styles don't fall under. They're all made the special Shur-up way with spandex stretch fiber throughout the leg. Trim-ribbed Ban-Lon in every color you'd want.  One size fits 10 to 13.  From $1.50. You don't get to be the greatest name in socks without putting your foot down.  Another fine product of Kayser-Roth.

Revlon Cologne

Playboy Sept. 1964
   This ad pretty much says it all.  Women dig it.  "That Man" is dug by women.  Reason enough to buy it.

Lord Jeff Sweater

Playboy Sept. 1964
   After Christmas, I bet most of you got a sweater of some sort, so I decided to post up some retro sweater action.
Ad text:  Woolama.  Puts a gleam in a man's eye - irresistable to women. Full fashioned sweater; saddle shoulders; imported baby lamb's wool.  Lord Jeff.

   You feel good giving it. They feel good getting it. And that's what Christmas giving is all about, isn't it? (decanter and regular bottle gift-packaged at no extra charge.)
   Give Seagrams 7 Crown and Be Sure.
