Getting an old magazine or newspaper is a fantastic way to start exploring the past. See how people once used their language, what was included, and excluded. Memorizing events is all fine and dandy, but these don’t actually show how people would approach everyday life. Advertisements are a great way to approach what people liked and wanted. 

Through the magic of the internet, we now are able to catalog and share all sorts of ads from the past online. So prepare to look into a different time as you scroll through, be sure to upvote our favorites and comment your thoughts on these truly vintage ads below.

I have seen this before, and if I'm correct (there might be a similar ad out there, so don't quote me), some intrepid Panda or Redditor found them, looked them up, and yes--they did find someone.

awe, that actually sounds pretty good. though a woman living on a farm like that probably wouldnt have need for a hoop skirt unless she went into town, would she? seems like she'd be putting in work on the homestead and a hoopskirt would just get in the way. course im thinking of like reinfaire hoopskirt so maybe there was a different farm friendly kind?

I work exclusively with juniors and seniors in high school. I will be the first to complain about their immaturity and inability to take responsibility for their actions. But, I also specialize in working with students who are at high risk of not graduating high school. The "mature" kids are in another classroom. Every year we have students in our building who are, hard-working, creative, honest, and responsible. Some of them are already making $10-$20,000 a year with their own small business. Others are working industry related jobs starting out at $30,000 a year. Before they've earned their high school diploma.

Back then that was completely common. There are still some kids that hardworking, sadly it's just a rarity now... My daughter started her own business all by herself when she was 15(just a slime business that she got bored of lol but still impressive imo),at 16 she got her 1st job bagging groceries and by 17 was their best cashier(even though you're supposed to be 18 to be a casier)and doing the manager's job half the time(and bought her 1st car entirely on her own), at 18 she was asked to take a manager's position but she declined due to how bad the higher ups ran the store, at 19 she went to a different job and within a year she became a manager(and bought herself a new car, again entirely on her own). She is now 20 and just bought herself a house(without a co-signer) because she started working on building her credit as soon as she was old enough to. I am an extremely proud mother 🥰

I'm sure there were many 18 yo slackers in that young man's time. The vast majority of our young people are just struggling to do their best in a crazy world the last generation left them.

Often, the 50s and 60s were referred to as a sort of golden age of advertising. It’s no accident that the hit show Mad Men was set during this time period when both the science of marketing and economic booms all came together. It was the first time brands started to really think about a solid image to create and maintain and companies started to spend a lot of money working out ways to entice buyers.

This “golden age” wasn’t just a one-way street of businesses realizing that marketing had its advantages, it coincided with a lot of economic prosperity in the United States, as more and more families had money to spend on luxury items. In general, spending was no longer taboo, as it may have been during the great depression and companies found that they really did have to compete with a whole host of competitors.

Once you add in all the new possibilities for where and how to display ads, you get a melting pot of creativity. Radio had been around for a while, but soon marketing teams realized that TV was a great medium to promote something. At the same time, many Americans were purchasing cars and traveling, making billboards potentially more effective. The result is that creatives, from cinematographers to musicians and artists could all be employed to make eye or ear-catching ads.

I saw the "sneak preview" of Jaws - can you imagine?!!! For those unfamiliar, a "sneak preview" was when they released a movie at a handful of theaters with ZERO plot information or 2 minute preview ads. All you had to go on was the poster. Obviously Jaws was about a big scary shark, but nothing could have prepared 17 year old me for that movie...so great and one of my favorite memories.

Despite the veritable buffet of possibilities, many vintage ads were quite classy and creative, perhaps a result of many of the best minds going into advertising. WV's classic “think small” ad for the beetle is a good example of modernizing a pre-war car with an eye-catching, minimalist poster. It was also a clever way to stand out by not being more loud, flashy, or bombastic than many of its competitors.

Curious readers can find a number of clever tricks used in the “think small” ad, including the way the car is angled to direct the reader toward the text. This text actually ends with a period, which was quite uncommon for the time, while the entire poster was black and white. This actually helped it stand out, as by 1959 most visual display ads would be in color.

Other companies started to realize that they didn’t just have to sell a product, they could sell themselves, as a brand. These days, this has reached such a position that there are consumers who will buy something not because they like the product, but because they like the brand. Apple is a prime example of this. The origins of this idea can be traced back to a couple of different examples, including the Cadbury Flake Girl.

This would allow a large corporation to suddenly morph into a more personified character that people might relate to and even like. Other companies would try to associate their brand with enduring, desirable qualities, like reliability and innovation. This also freed up advertisers to expand on what they could show and talk about, as the topic no longer had to just be a product or service.

Maybe they need an ad like this again, across all platforms. Not just minority girls either, but all girls. Encourage them that they don't have to dream of being an influencer or Instagram model. Be a scientist that discovers the next big breakthrough. Go to Mars. Go into cyber security. Anything that doesn't involve how many likes you get online.

These days, companies can and do actively advertise to children. In the past, it made sense to target adults, as they were the ones with any real purchasing power, but marketers quickly learned that a persistent child could talk parents into quite a lot. Similarly, many young adults were already working, so they could be persuaded to spend some of their hard-earned cash on luxuries and entertainment.

Adjusted for inflation that is $24,784 in 2023. Keep in mind this was a kit, not a house; you had to buy a piece of ground to build it on, then you had to build it. It also came without a lot of things that are standard today, like insulation and central heating. In the 1930s the median annual wage for a white male was around $1400 ($31,744 today). A minority male earned less than half of that. This was in the depths of the Great Depression, so there was a good chance you were not earning anything.

It’s not for “London Transit”, which has never existed. It is for the National Rail Company at the time. BR still exist BTW, and the logo is starting to pop back up around the place.

BTW the Visit Palestine Campaign was from the Tourist Association of Palestine, which was a division of the Jewish Agency, and was done by Zionist artist Franz Krausz for the Palestine booth at the World Fair, which was "to promote Zionism" according to the recors at the time. Back then most of the Arabs rejected the name Palestine (The Arab Higher Committee, which was the Arab equivalent of the Jewish Agency called Palestine "A zionist term" and said the area was Southern Syria). Back then the term Palestine was associated with Jews and Zionism (post 1948 the Palestine National Football team because the Israel team. Palestine Post became Jerusalem post, Palestine Philharmonic became the Tel Aviv Philharmonic, etc). This was a Zionist ad when Palestine and the Palestinian Cause meant Zionism and Jews. Here are other ads from the campaign. visitpal5.jpg visitpal5.jpg

These were rubbish quality. I'd come home from work and at least twice a week my wife told me how it just snapped off at the base whilst she was using it.
