and here's an article showing some ads he himself was in, but a little too new to be considered vintage

This isn't exactly advertising, but I thought it warranted being posted here:
LIFE magazine March 14, 1955 fashion feature: MIAMI MOVES UP IN STYLE—Breezy clothes for warm weather come from a likely source. “Newest of the Florida booms is in the field of fashion. With its fashion industry grown 10 times in size since 1945, Miami now has 125 firms manufacturing women’s apparel, last year sold $55 million worth of clothes for warm weather at any season of the year.”

Because this is just so very VERY appropriate to today's America. Perhaps an early inkling of the dangerous (and uninformed) chasm between the right and the left?


"Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government" -- Thomas Jefferson

It doesn't get much more positive than Uhura! This is an ad from Jet for its sister publication, Ebony. I keep dragging this one out, but it's one of my faves. It also reminds me of the coolest story in show biz!

You can find the scanned magazine on Google books. The cover article begins on p. 70. The pictures alone are worth a look!

I've just posted some readers' offer ads here scanned from a 70s craft magazine called Golden Hands Monthly. I felt this one deserved its very own post however. If you want to see the rest of the pages I scanned, they're here.

"Oh yeah!! I've got my very own potato!" is what that little girl's face is saying.
