California Road of Romance - Trail of Missions - Highway 101 San Francisco to Los Angeles 1930s Hotel Advertising Postcard

 

Planters 2 Page Ad from 1950

This one is so bright and colorful!  

From the See The USA with Mr. Peanut Coloring and Activity Book.  

 

1885 - Dr HH Kane At Home Addiction Treatment Ad

The typesetting of this ad is very interesting.  

I wonder how successful this treatment was?

I guess if it was successful people would still be using it now.

 

1900 Ladies Home Journal Ad - Warner's Rust Proof Corsets

I never really thought about rusty corsets being a problem.

Who knew!?

 

1900 Ad Amour's Extract of Beef

I guess people now are drinking bone broth tea, so maybe beef tea isn't so strange, 

but I prefer peppermint or orange pekoe.  It's interesting to look at an old magazine or

catalog and see how many older companies have survived over time.  This ad is from 1900

and Armour is still in the grocery aisle today.  I'm sure the company has passed through

several hands , but the name is still  out there.

 

1965 Kenner Daddy Saddle Print Ad

Um, this is interesting!

 

1903 Studebaker Cabriolet Carriage Wagon Print Ad

In 1903 only 23,000 cars were registered in the United States.

By 1920, Studebaker had sold off its carriage-making division to concentrate

only on making cars.  

 This ad is available in my ebay store, if you are interested.

I've got lots of other fun ephemera over there too!

Trader Vic's Appetizer Menu - Bayshore Inn, Vancouver, BC CANADA - 1960s - Room Service

I love the design on old tiki menus! 

We had a Trader Vic's here in Portland in the 60s, it closed in the 90s and re-opened in the early 2000s only to have a fire and never open again.  

We do have a fantastic Tiki bar called Hale Pele though!
