One of the best gifts Husband ever gave me is a set of bound TIme Magazines from the 30s and 40s. It's a time capsule of Nazi build-up, ads that make cigarettes a cross between a diet aid and a magic Zen pill, and a society that put women firmly in the kitchen, making soup for their hard working, hat-wearing men. This ad is just random but it made me laugh. Hell, I'm goin on 4 days of sleeplessness here, tissue paper makes me laugh...
Actually, what strikes me about that photo is how little advertising has changed... it reads almost exactly like the typical Internet service or mobile phone ad...
