1 Vintage Firefighter Gasoline Ads
Can you believe that they actually tried to brand a commodity like gasoline, oil is oil , especially if the price goes up. I do not know why Texaco and the other ” seven sisters” advertise given that they are one company?

Well, there are a millon and one other things you can be in demand for with women, but drawing?
3 Vintage Medical Newspaper Ads

7 Retro Magazine Meat ads
The illustrator tried very hard to show that the girl was looking forward to a plate of meat.

It is funny that they claim to think about these men when they are designing these shirts but that sounds daft given how awflul they look by today’s standards.
9 Vintage Ads Do Not Be Bald
It promises a cure for baldness but I guess it is not that good given that it is not available today. It sounds like a novel Idea.
10 Vintage Magazine ads For Stokings
I thinks this works on female insecurites really, now women have to worry about whether their husbands do not like runs on their stockings.
11 Vintage Beer Ads
This a post prohibition ad saying that beer belongs, well they would not have had to advertise is there was no threat to beer.
11 Vintage Ads about Television making Children Smarter
This a very ironic ad because people have not really been made smarter by television, instead they have been made much slower, people do not read these days but watch the box.

13 Vintage Drug Education Ads
It is amazing that they believed that there were authoutity figures the kids could talk to, this must have been pre 1960s because kids do not want to listen to any of these people today.
14 Vintage 70s Ads- Blaxploitaion
Well if you want to see w=how bad the blaxploitation era film making was just look at this film and ask yourself what is going on? A racist bigot and a soul brother being one being? This was still advertised in the late eighties.
15 Vintage Salt Ad
Is there even a connection between goiters and salt? Medical ads are some of the funniest ones

I do not know about you but was beating wives a tradition in the past? well females do not bore your husbands at meal times, just because you are not getting the beats.
17 Vintage Fashionads- one peice suit
This is n early eighties ad, but why is this man standing next to a pole, maybe this sort of trouser may come back to fashion in the future. You can imagine this guy getting into Studio 54 or any other nightclub in New York City.

If this fashion ever comes back just call me. People will never wear late 1980s fashion again.

These are classic! Too funny that our marketing forefathers thought these creative executions were brilliant – and that the public actually responded. It’s amazing how our cultural sensibilities have evolved, and it takes a retrospective like this to help us realize just how much.
I blogged about this subject a while back, and have several of these retro ads mounted on my walls at home: http://www.dontdrinkthekoolaidblog.com/my-grandma-influenced-career/
Thanks for the Friday laugh!

Whoever did the commentary needs to do a little research so they don't sound stupid. Connection between goiter and salt? Come on. Seriously? Do you really not know that Iodine was added to salt to prevent goiter? That's why it's "iodized"…make sense now?
As far as the iodized salt goes, it really does prevent goiters. This isn't just some old timey medical myth. Lack of iodine (which is added to most salt these days) used to be a primary cause of goiters, and still is in less developed parts of the world.r nr nAs for "Mrs. Mosquito:" the advertisement is just being scientifically accurate. Male mosquitoes don't bite. Only the females feed on blood.
Ad 19 – not a sexist ad, only female mosquitos suck blood (so spread malaria). Strange but true…
"Is this a sexiest ad, why is mrs mosquito distributing malaria?" Actually, only female mosquitoes bite, so it does make sense. Unless you really did mean "sexiest", not "sexist"
The add for salt. It's iodized salt, meaning iodine has been added. Lack of iodine in one's diet will cause goiters.
Mrs. Mosquito is delivering it because male mosquitoes don't bite people. XD
for #19 – only female mosquitoes transmit malaria to humans
Dear Author
Wikipedia is your friend
Regarding article 15,
“Iodised salt is used to prevent and remedy iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.[1] It also causes thyroid gland problems, specifically endemic goiter.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_iodised_salt
Regarding article 19
No sexism here. Only female mosquitos suck blood. At least that’s what they taught us in the elementary school. Wikipedia quotation
“Males live for about a week, feeding on nectar and other sources of sugar. Females will also feed on sugar sources for energy but usually require a blood meal for the development of eggs. ”

Have fun
Don't only female mosquitoes bite?
Mrs.Mosquito :: female mosquito's are the only ones that suck blood, and, hence, are the only ones that transmit malaria.
I'm sure BP (Q8 Oil), Chevron (ChevronTexaco), ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell will be amused to find out they're "one company".
do you know if copies of these adds can be purchased anywhere.r nThanks
