VTT - 2 BOOKS, 2 ADS!

Before we get started, let's just have some candy - every day? Sure! This ad is from a 1941 boys' magazine.

Here's the cover of a 1966 book that Mister picked up in a box of books by the side of the road. I just think the cover is hilarious!Might as well stick with the media theme - here's one I picked up recently on eBay.
I'll leave you with another vintage ad from a 1950's LIFE magazine- have a great weekend everyone!

    Vintage ads are fun. I almost showed some today. I never heard of Kan-Kil--what a descriptive name.

    Good Morning Sue!
    Boy they don't make things like they used to do they? I love the old advertisements and the products actually worked. Now we don't what else they did to us, but they did work. I sure do love the candy one. Eat candy. Wouldn't the dr.s today have fun with that one? Thanks for sharing sweetie. Please stop by and say hi. I would love to have you visit. Country hugs, Sherry

    I've been brainwashed to leave a comment, just by seeing the cover of that book! It really works!

    Obviously the candy advertisers read the brain washing book! Sorry I missed Rednesday this week, was working on a new blog look. I'll be back next week though!
