Hi! I'm extremely glad I found this community, because I'm fascinated by old magazines and ads. I have a few from the '20's and '30's, and the ads are priceless. I don't have a scanner, but I took pictures of some with my digital camera and the quality is pretty good.


These are just small fractions of the ads. The ads themselves are huge, so click on a thumbnail to view the full ad.



An ad for a drink to make your thin child more "husky".



Cure your pissy husband with Quaker Crackles!



Clara, Lu, 'n' Em talk about soap suds.



Guys really, really, really hate gobs of lipstick.



They also hate it when you stink to high heaven.

[ETA]: I just realized that the top strip is hard to read, so here it is larger.



I had no idea Kotex was such an old product.



Even a husband can do it! I had to split this one up since it was so huge. The top half is here and the rest of it is here.


Enjoy!

yes, kotex is really old. it was actually invented out of the the fabric used to bandage wounds during world war one. i think the first kotex ad actually features a nurse & a soldier.

Honey, common and cheap is exactly what I have in mind when I put on my face. I'll be sure to steer clear of Tangee. ^_-
