British Telecom & The Addams Family, 1980s  (artwork by the great Charles Addams)

*This ad was posted three years ago by spuzzlightyear, but I just discovered this interesting fact about it - Neil Gaiman owns the original artwork!

I love how they give each dimension as a point of pride, and emphasize sturdiness twice!  A better version of the skeleton arm in a black box, I guess.





Real Silk Hosiery, from the Real Silk Hosiery Mills in Indianapolis, 1925

Bonus fake Chinese lettering too!

In love with the Addams Family and silk hosiery ads. Would love to have one of those Haunted House banks for myself.

Love the Addams Family ad. The ad seems to be targeted directly at American expats or long-term sojourners in the UK. I wonder where it came from and whether the locals liked them, too. I'm sure someone here knows!
