Oldschool Ads

From time to time i like to browse through retro/oldschool ads to get creative.

It's pretty funny to see that advertorials and ads didn't really change much in the last 50 years. Would be awesome if we could collect the best retro ads in this thread. So if you have some share them with us!

Retro "Flogs" anyone?













some more :-)













SHARE YOURS!

Very nice thread, it seems that old school ads employ a lot of the word play we use for effective ads today

How about the greatest ad of all time?

I read once that this ad ran for about forty years without being beat. It was finally pulled because the people who bought the agency wanted to "modernize". They dropped the ad because it was old, even though it was never bested. None of the "modern" ads that replaced it ever did as well.
