An Acquired Right (1947)

I really really love this. Even though it still has that pov that women should stay home, that idea isn't passed over to us in an ugly way like other ads sometimes do. Considering the time it was made, I think it's a very beautiful ad =) 

"AN ACQUIRED RIGHT

The wife, chosen amongst other pretty women that you knew, your companion through the good and the bad days, the organizer and caretaker of your home, the one who holds your family's entire happiness, deserves all proofs of attention, of solicitude, and of kindness that you can give. She has rights, and deserves the big and small sacrifices. She also deserves means to make her housework easier. And the best of this means - all housewifes know - is Epel, the electric floor polisher."

I love it. Well, until they got to the electric floor polisher part. I'll pretend it says vintage Ford Mustang instead.

"She also deserves a night on the town and some cabana boys, Just saying."
