Maybe I missed the conversation at some point, but is there any reason why you're putting your pics behind a cut?

I guess when it comes to items in vintages ads, I don't think I always have a good feel for what might possibly be considered offensive. To err on the safe side, I just put stuff behind a cut so I don't unintentionally offend someone by things that I find interesting or amusing.

Cramped living rooms in 1939.

The livingroom eluded to in the ad must be extremely cramped by the looks of things.

No wonder TV didn't catch on for another decade or so.

Look at how weird the picture is; all tall and angular. And isn't it funny to find tobacco pickers all dressed like nurses. To show how sanitary and clean their outdoor operations are. And to not pay any attention to the rats.
