Retro ads

Kotex 1951

























These are so weird! apparently this was the ideal way to advertise to women?

Marlboro 1950

























This one is my favorite, Lifebuoy 1930, according to wikipedia Lifebuoy coined the term "B.O." so they didn't have deodorant in 1930?

1. Is that sad cigarette baby wearing a tinfoil cowboy hat?
2. I'm glad they had "B.O." in quotes with the tiny parenthetical definition below. They're very thorough. I wish, though, that instead they had used an asterisk or footnote.
3. When you have a baby, please make it wear a tinfoil cowboy hat.
