1958 Ad: Hi Ho Crackers
This ad depicts life in 1958.
Yes, ladies cleaned house & cooked in dresses. Most ladies magazines encouraged them to "look good for husband when he got home from work".
When I was young, in the early '60s, girls still wore dresses to school. I protested in first grade and my mom made some slacks for me to wear. I was a tomboy.
The struggle was real with the cord telephone. Waiting your turn to use the phone. Party lines in rural areas. Worrying that the boy you liked was going to try to call and get a busy signal because a sibling was on the phone. Good times.

I love to find that these businesses are still around - something to be proud of.

Mashup of Ads from the 1950s & 1960s.
Just Because.
As I was scanning selections from the 1950s & 1960s, these are some that I wanted to share for one reason or another.
Just an illustration of what was important, what companies spent advertising money on.
I love the mix of black & white and color to draw attention to the logo.
Love the 1970s fashions & hair. Nothing to compare.
A Harley Scooter. Kind of opposite of the way they are envisioned today.
And I included this one just because I liked the color and "Carolina".
And in a day when men and women go to the local store in pajama pants, it is refreshing to see an age when people actually cared what they looked like when they walked out their front door.

Did you know that View-Master made cameras??? I didn't.
Dan River Textiles.....close to where I live. So sad that so many of the textile jobs left our country. Hopefully, we can get some of them back!

I have collected vintage costume jewelry for a long time....and this is still a favorite among collectors. Sarah Coventry.
What ever happened to colored Toilet Paper? I loved it! You just can't find anything but white now. And this one is wonderful for the upcoming Easter holiday.
I can live without the effort that went into hairstyles.

Soda has always been advertised heavily.
