We know you loved our ads this year – we loved them too. As you probably know, though, those weren’t our first ads – we’ve been advertising on TV, the radio, and in print for years. Take a look at these print ads we dug up:

From 1946:

From 1947:

And from 1957:

We’d love to hear what you think of these – leave a comment and let us know!

Please continue finding them and sharing. Oh Happy Days!

And people love the graphic style, there’s a reason people collect National Geographics from the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, and it isn’t the articles.
