Vintage Adverts
From the practicable to the bizarre, from the alluring to the desirable. Advertisements have always sought to tempt us with dreams of what might be but only with the advertisers product.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness
For Him
There was nothing quite like a whiff of carbolic to ensure personal hygiene.
The clearness of Pear’s soap demonstrated it’s purity but perhaps not the occasional bathroom misfortune.
There is nothing like a good shave.
For Her
For ladies that wanted to look a little lovelier.
Outlandish claims are nothing new as this slim by washing away body fat advert declares.
Followed by a good dose of hair dressing.
Clothes Maketh the Man and the Woman
Stylish underwear for men.
Or perhaps a more modern girdle.
For the Dapper man about town.
Figure hugging corsets for ladies.
Not to forget girdles with built in stocking suspenders.
Spoilt for choice.
Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It’s off to work we go
Together by bicycle.
Buy a set of wheels for a modest price.
There nothing quite like a modern family motor car…..
Or on ones own.
Or a motorcycle for the more affluent.
… For work or for pleasure.
And so to bed
First a relaxing nightcap.
Ensuring the children are safely asleep…
Before retiring to bed…
Or possibly some cocoa.
and the bed is properly made.
…For a comfortable nights sleep…Perhaps!
