It's always hard to know if I found these ads here or elsewhere, but this one is so lovely. 1920s powders and rouges

Did you know Madam C.J. Walker was America's first self-made female millionaire? I learned this watching African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross. Good series!

Just to add some fun to it, there are ads for:

GUNS, UGLY JELLO, SLEAZY BANDS, DOUCHES, and a KITTEH.

STEP RIGHT UP! ONLY A DOLLAR!

Mavis by Vivaudou. Vivaudou ads never fail to amaze me with their artwork and style (and color, and bizarre-ness). :D

The artist is Henry Clive, a prolific ad artist of the time.

Snoozy kitty snoozes on the TV while everyone else is overdressed (perhaps for New Year's?) and marvelling that they can see the TV screen from any angle!
PanoramicTV 1953-57

( Cat's Paw non-slip Rubber Heels and Soles )
( Chatham "Purrey" Blanket (godawful cutesy) )

And I'm not sure this kitty is happy about all the hair spray fumes. Also wtf "softly... softly"?

Or so says an old Pacquin's ad. Actually a lot of their ads say weird things. Things like: "There was about her a dainty grace, from her Milk-white Hands to her elfin face."
1947Pacquins

The way of love was thus ... with hands delicious." You know where that's from? A SONG. A short, and imho not terribly wonderful song by Rupert Brooke.

Reposting because this is the ad that got me into Vintage Ads.

I believe the original ad is closer to this second version, not as oversaturated as the first, but I still love the first. I would wear that dress, as awful as I would look in it. :D
