Griifin Microsheen, 1956

Just your typical exploitive Microsheen ad, with a freaky pumpkinhead man looming behind the scantily-clad model.

Windex, 1951

From HERE.




Does she sleep in this creepy attic, or are we supposed to believe the ceiling has vanished, for artistic purposes?

I absolutely LOVE the angles (none of them correct) that the artist used ot bring a sense of disorientation to the picture.

Sanka, 1948





Yeah, I know this isn't an ad, but I HAD one of these and loved it dearly as a child.  It was bluish in dry weather, and turned purplish and then pink as the humidity rose or rain came.  Until I stuck in under the faucet. :D

I love the Sanka ad and I WANT a Boo Berry weather thingy.

Make your own - it's probably just paper soaked in a solution of cobalt chloride.

Microsheen could at least have put boots on the sexy lady! Geez.

I'm glad the ads that are attention-getting, but then twenty seconds later you forget what the ad was allegedly for, was not just a thing of my generation. Well, sort of glad.

0.o based on the lingerie model, I thought Microsheen was a kind of pantyhose. Then I read the copy and found it's a boot polish.

Boot polish? Hello? What on earth does a scantily-clad model have to do with boot polish???

...wait wait. Don't answer that. There's too many ways to go with that concept...>.

Those Sanka ad's are good, I feel like there should be more. I am on a mission to find them .

This one is all slanted angles and odd perspective. Amazing illustrations for just black and white line art.

I found one more, I put in the save for later bin.

It appears there were only five in all. Do you have the cat one? Or the dark shadow at the window one?
