Sorry, no QR codes here… just some good old fashioned advertisements that look like they should be in the Louvre when compared to the ones that are around today. Back in the day, they didn’t need sex to sell things–okay, fine, they did, but it was done in a different way. They were loaded with class and… lions wearing tuxedos?
Check out these vintage ads from the 50s, 60, and 70s. They’re definitely different from what we see today.
