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.

Encyclopedia Britannica

Playboy Jan. 1969
I'm not going to type that all out, because it's about encyclopedias.  
But those that care might find this ad for the 200th anniversary edition interesting.

Two-fer Tuesday!

Playboy Jan 1969
Yes, two.  Twosday.  

Of particular note in this ad: a drinking game which seems to imply adult fun of the "swinging" type.   I've never seen an ad for a drinking board game... I wonder if Spencer's sells them?

Two-fer Thursday

Playboy Sept. 1966
     Here's a pair of ads: a punny Ole Tequila ad featuring a confused matador, and an ad for Apache Moccasins with a swinging Apache man.

     Also note, the recipe for a Margarita in the tequila ad calls for no sours, and is 40% lemon juice.  And only totals 2.5 oz.  Not the Margarita I'm used to seeing. When did the Margarita evolve into what it is today?
