A lovely Cold War ad with a hint of "blame the victim" or perhaps a cautionary tale for our times...  The text is the star of this ad, even with the great artwork (her EYEBROWS at him) on either side.  Read it aloud for best effect.

"But, come to think of it, many of those oppressed people used to have Freedoms too. They got careless, though, and let a lot of power-hungry dictators 'plan' their Freedom right out from under their noses."


Also, that's a doozy of a slogan they came up with there under the logo!

Friday April 10 thru Sunday April 12 Weekend Events Science/Chemistry Ads and Russian Ads

So ads involving science and/or chemistry in anyway (or being blinded by science) AND Russian ads, ads in Russian, ads FOR visiting Russia, ads for Russian items and yes, even those cold war anti-Russian ads....which we don't see being repeated these days with other countries do we? i guess either they got a clue that that kind of propaganda doesn't work OR they let the media do it subversively now? (I'm probably rather cynical this morning....that's different from any other morning??)

From "EICHLERIFIC"

6012118241_e9c846cdaa "Is there a need for air raid shelters?" they ask.

"Your answer to that is as good as ours, but all of us know preparedness before possible disaster from modern air borne weapons is of vital concern to every one of us."
