It looks familiar...

It's Pete Hawley. You can see some more of his work in this Flickr set.

This is great!
These remind me of pictures of my Grandpa in his younger days. Blond pompadour and swank summer clothes. :)

The o' Jantzen world HQ from the 1950s (the same era as this ad) is 4 blocks from my house. The building is still there, but is now a bathroom fixtures showroom and manufacturing plant.

I didn't even know the history of the building until last year, when I saw a photo from the 50s of it.

I LOOOVE the way the artist did the mermaids face and hair. Very sexy.

You live in Portland? The building on Sandy? Does it still have the beautiful swimmer emblems up on the facade? I haven't even looked.

No, Vancouve BC Canada.

Maybe it was just the Canadian HQ for Jantzen... I never considered that! You're probably right.

I'm sorry...Those are the gayest looking guys I have ever seen, and I know from Homo.

Why does this remind me of that "I'm on a boat" song? Maybe it's the mermaid.
