Honeybee Mama - hilarious! especially the risque lady in her undies as a result of the he-man aroma of aftershave!
Sue linse - Love the shoes on the girl in the skin bracer ad…they would be fashionable now!
Kelly - My mom gave me a typewriter for Christmas when I was about ten and I didn’t like it at all. We can laugh about it now how she thought I would love it and instead I thought it meant hours chained to a desk and typing lessons. 🙂 So funny. She has a little typewriter in the grandchildren’s room at her house now that the little boys love to peck away at!
Hotpoint seems like a funny name to try to sell something to keep food cold. 🙂
These are great and funny too. Kelly
Kate - Oh, I love old advertisements! They make me so happy! There is this great antique store in Prescott that has piles of old magazines. So fun.
stephany - So, I’m not the first to suggest this…and am sure you already thought of something amazing to do with them…but, frame them…decoupage them onto canvas…display them! In your NEW house!
katey - Love these!! I found an article the other day while cutting out some for an old journal and it was titled “Be a Whistled at Mom”. It was from 1952! Cracked me up!!!
Sarah - Is Lauren starting college this next school year? I may just be turning 30, but I do have memories of writing school reports on a typewriter. I sooo hated when the erase tape was finished and I had to resort to using white out!
angela - Perfect for framing and displaying in the craft house! LOVE the typewriter ad!
Heather S. - I subscribe to Reminisce Magazine because I love all the vintage! And I am only 34! Love the ads!
amanda d - Love it! Makes me want to watch Mad Men!
Alicia @ La Famille - so cool! i wonder if don draper designed any of those 🙂
Becki - Wow! Those are priceless! It’s amazing how much things have changed.
Ivy - Your hotpoint fridge ad says its the one to buy for ’46. Awesome find. These should be framed.
Christina Cruz - I love these ads. I have seen others that were put in men’s magazines that, although funny, are totally wrong. Like the one that says, “Is it always illegal to kill a woman?” or “It is good to have a woman around the house.” and the man is stepping on a woman’s head. These remind me of some of the sexists ads now-a-days.
However, I would frame these ads. These kinds of ads are the reason I got into the Adverting world.
Wendy - You would love Amy Barickman’s Book called Vintage Notions. She is a Kansan also and has Indygo Junction Pattern company. Really cool lady. Anyway, her book has all kinds of old gems from books and maybe magazines. Her blog does also. amybarickman.com
Such fun things to have!
I was thrifting yesterday and thought why do all the cool old signs have to be cigarette, cigar, or liquor?? I guess they didnt realize how bad some of those things were. being educated about your health takes away all of the fun! I love the tin signs but I can’t have a cigarette or beer sign in my house full of kids!!

jennifer - I found a lot of old ads and appliance manuals at my grandma’s house. We framed the kitchen/food related ones and have them hanging in our kitchen. Love it!
Tanya H - My dad wore green Mennen Skin Bracer when he and my mom would go out! The smell takes me back to being a very little girl ….of course that was way after that ad would have been circulating tho, giggle! These were fun!
Kristin S - These are begging for frames… except the one of the guy in his underwear.
Oh, and they typewriter one? Didn’t Dads used to look so much older?
R - The “Reis Scandals” is OUR last name!! That cracks me up. Wish I knew where to find this issue…i’d frame that puppy!! Ha ha! We have old British cars (50’s and 60’s) and my husband loves when I find the old ads and frame them for his office. It’s fantastic!
Vera - I courted an angel and married a cook ha ha I LOVE IT!
Leah - I love these ads! Old ads are awesome.
