Advertising down the years #82

Just a personal view but, boy did they call that one wrong…

Advertising #78: Christmas cheer

Because nothing in a romantic Christmas beats ensuring a joint funeral at Easter. Ho ho ho.

Advertising #76: Christmas cheer

This advert was found, in part at least, to resonate with sons rather than their fathers, particularly by John Hincley, Mark Chapman & Mehmet Agča; everybody has to start somewhere. Ho ho ho.

Advertising #75: Christmas cheer

Any man following the message carried in this advert is effectively signing his own death warrant; any Coroner worth his salt will put the cause of death down as either suicide or death by misadventure. Ho ho ho.

Advertising #74

It was the glamor of this advert that suggested to Jos Slapper in 1911 his move into the world of rubbing and cosmetic lard from his existing bacon-based food business; Jos Slapper & Sons remained the world’s leading suppliers of recreational pig fat products until the outbreak of war in 1939 when their entire stock was requisitioned for use as artillery lubricants.
