Sears (1910s)
Two things that are hard to believe in this ad: first, that Sears was in the house-selling game, and second, that a 12-bedroom home would only set you back $6000. With inflation, that makes it about $172,779 for a 12-bedroom house, which is still a bargain in truly every sense of the word. It’s unthinkable that such a home was available at that price.

For some reason, in the 1960’s, it was a good idea to compare modern man to cavemen and pretend that it’s somehow a desirable effect. They somehow thought that convincing men that by smoking their cigars, they would become manlier. Of course, no caveman is complete without a subservient cavewoman.
