I occasionally post a set of these vintage magazine advertisements. I always enjoy seeing them as I forage for collage images. These are from a 1952 magazine (I think). Some are for foods that aren't around any more (or are very uncommon); some are "mysterious" (e.g., what is Scotty McTape planning to tape to fix the problem?); some are just plain weird. BTW, there seems to be a lot more ads to stop crying babies than what is seen in contemporary magazines. Just looking through vintage magazine is one of the pleasant "perks" of being a collage artist -- nothing to create, just a chance to enjoy visual imagery.
