This ad is just a little bit disturbing 😂 From my copy of Fortune 1935. The tomatoes are crying because there are not enough of them for you... to be squished into your delicious drink. These tomatocrats are truly fruits of the people.

I came across this ad in my archive, from a 1951 copy of Life Magazine. It stood for its unusually bold design for a small ad from that era. I spent a lot of time hanging out in Grand Haven years ago.

Found this ad in my copy of Fortune June 1953. I think the logo is pretty cool. I've never seen a floor like this installed. The company Jennison Wright looks to be still in business so I sent them a copy.

I particularly like the shower tile and floor design. I found this ad in my archive it's one of the better kitchen and bath design ads I've come across.

One shirt ad from each decade in my archive, 1930 to 1980.

1. 1938 Marlboro Shirts Ad - "The case of the perfect shirts"
2. 1948 Arrow Anachords Shirts, Ties, Handkerchiefs Ad - "Arrow's Style of the Month 'Anachords'"
3. 1958 Hathaway Shirt Ad - "The man in the Hathaway shirt"
4. 1961 Arrow Decton shirt Ad - "Wherever you go you look better in an Arrow shirt"
5. 1972 Robert L. Green Attire Ad - "Flash! Shining examples of clothes to brighten your fashion outlook"
6. 1982 A. Sulka & Company Swiss Cotton Shirt Ad - "Limited Handcrafted Edition Sulka Swiss Cotton with Satin Stripes"

A tiny little business card sized ad that caught my eye in my copy of Fortune, April 1935. It's a really cool ad design. The hotel is now an apartment building.

Sounds just like something Michael would say...

Found in my copy of Scientific American April, 1950

All of the Kellogg's ads currently in my archive from 1939 to 1965. I think I like the 1939 ad the best for its illustrations and format.

10. 1965 Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes Ad - "Live it up! corn it up sweeten it up"

Found in my archive in Fortune Magazine, 1935. I like the illustrations, it's a pretty well composed ad.

Quarter page ad, found in my copy of Fortune April 1935. All inclusive first class rate, only $15/day ($365 today).

The tagline made me laugh. Found in my archive, Fortune April 1935

'Channels' [Analog] A juxtaposition of vintage ads from Life Magazine (January 8, 1965), cut and composed physically. Utilizes two ads, Admiral TV and Pall Mall cigarettes. I like to limit myself to sourcing only from one issue per collage.

Found this ad in my collection, from Omni Magazine February 1986

The gentleman in the first two ads are definitely admiring each others socks.

The four ads in order:

1. 1934 Interwoven Socks Ad - "For style and comfort men who know, prefer these smart Interwoven socks—because they look better, fit better and wear longer than any other socks", Esquire
2. 1938 Interwoven Nu-Top Socks Ad - "An entirely new and different SELF-SUPPORTING 'INTERWOVEN' SOCK", Esquire
