Camel (1940s)

It’s pretty hard to believe but in the 1940’s, Camel was able to release this ad promoting their cigarettes by letting potential buyers know that “more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.” By today’s standard, not only would that not work, but we would probably not trust a doctor that promotes smoking cigarettes of any brand.

Sony (1980s)

This Sony Walkman ad from the 1980’s perfectly captures the decade in one photo: from the portable cassette players, to the roller skates, to the clothing style, and the hairstyles. This is a nice and nostalgic look at what was considered cool in the 80’s.
