Weekend Event: SUN

[write-light.livejournal.com]

This first ad is both beautifully minimalist, with black and white pen art and lots of white space, and very odd - Maytag paying their respects to farmers.

Maytag, 1944



This second one is just cute, and unlike other Pabst ads of that year, it is not drawn, but modeled.  Unintentional farmer motif in both, I swear.

Pabst, 1936

Maytag, in the first ad, gave their location as Newton, Iowa. That would explain them paying their respect to farmers! I never knew they had been in Iowa. Growing up there I only heard of Amana products.

The Pabst ad is adorable!!!

Beautiful #1 and #2 -- the sunny themes make my day!
