I always like Elsie and Elmer.

I loved your post today and enjoyed looking and reading each ad. Elsie the cow seems to have her wits about her whilst trying to convince Elmer to take the kids so she could have a break. This was such a fun post..

That Royal Crown ad seems quite "racy" for the time. And I love the ad with the cows, so cute.

Amanda said...

Such fun ads-- can't decide which I like best!

Ulla said...

The ads have changed a lot during the years, but I think the old ones have usually a certain charm.

Charlotte said...

I love these old ads, especially Elsie and her family! I would frame that if I had it.

What caught my attention is the round trip ticket to the Philippines for just $3.50! I am from the Philippines I was giggling when I read this one, how I wish that is the cost of round trip fare now sigh!

I remember Elmer and Elsie. And look at that phone -- you can dial anywhere in the world!

Ann Creek said...

Can you imagine a mens dress shirt for 2.95. Wow. But I guess if you put into perspective, they did not make anywhere near what we do today. Happy VTT

These vintage ads and the magazines are great, Marina. I love the the theme of your blog, even though I'm not really a thrift shop fan.
