This is a brilliant collection of vintage advertising campaign slogans--so brilliant, in fact, a part of me suspects that they all may not be totally genuine.
If only advertising slogans such as those in the gallery were around today. It would make them so much more fun to read... Here are my favorites:
"Blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere."
"More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette."
"Let’s face it you could be hit by a bus tomorrow."
