Weekend Event - Local Ads - Jersey Shore

[imweirdlikethat.livejournal.com]

When I think of classic ads from my area, the first thing to come to mind is a ridiculously catchy radio jingle for a furniture store that's been playing since the early 90s. I'm not sure if it's old enough to count as vintage, though, and the only audio I can find of it online is from an ad that's less than a year old, so I'll just provide a link for anyone who wants to get that earworm in their head all day.

Instead, here is a page from a 1908 Steel Pier program. There are a ridiculous number of cool old ads from Atlantic City out there, but by the time I found a really great one, this event would probably be over. I chose this one because of that super-cool font on the Kodak ad which looks like it could have been printed decades later than it actually was. I don't have access to a scanner right now, so you'll have to excuse the photograph...



also, "curried lobster"? Blech...
