[countryguy]

The stand mixer looks to be a GE. My aunt had the same one.

 

[super-sweeper]

Here's take two!

These images have all been scanned from the same April 1958 issue of National Geographic, Here's the rest of the images before I'm off to scan more!

Again-Robert please let me know if you're fine with the flooding of vintage advertising this thread is about to see, And if this is an acceptable scanning quality for Automatic Ephemera. I'll be leaving off here for now while I scan some more advertisements! Feedback is always welcomed!

 

[arh1953]

I have piles of old Geographics, as well as Life Magazine, I love all their ads! Especially the Frigidaires from the late '50's. 

 

[luxman107]

I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing

 

[super-sweeper]

Glad you all are enjoying it!

I scanned the adds from a JUNE 1955 issue the other night,here they are!


Again again-I'm hoping Robert doesn't mind all of these large advertisements.


Please let me know if this a acceptable scanning quality for Automatic Ephermera!


 


Now-Presenting CADILLAC! The world's favorite luxary car brand!


 

 

[super-sweeper]

I LOVE

The class and elegance of that Cadillac add, along with the 1950s itself!


 


Here's some adds presented in the new Picture thingy-Including:


 


The gift that needs no occasion (HOOVERS don't need an occasion to arrive on your doorstep, either! of course,Eureka, Kirby and the like are always welcomed!)


 


The next add is a mix-match of adds on one page, including Adolph's salt-substituite (I couldn't imagine many people back then needing such a thing-unless you had a high blood pressure or something like that.The people of yesterday where not so bent on being so thin!).


Followed by a WESTON exposure meter (I still take photos on FILM-Except those I have to upload here! I'm on the 35 milimeter format-But Polaroid 600 is always fun-only the film is $25 for 8 photos, where as 35mm is around $12 for 96 photos!


Followed by some vacation add for Sun Valley, Idaho. Give meyour state and I'm bound to have a vacation add for it (I know I have a couple canadian adds, Minnesota and Florida!)! if any one has a request, let me know!

[super-sweeper]

Hot & Muggy nights are coming!

So buy a FEDDER'S air conditioning unit!


 


(Notice to you fans of Swamp Coolers-This is only 1 ad  of many others!)

 

[super-sweeper]

DeSoto Fans!

Unite! I love DeSotos myself-My favorite being the 1961 4-Door (DeSoto's very last car-The one that Chrysler had made to both blow $7,000,000 In DeSoto parts, and to make sure the giant '61 model failed in the new world of compact cars).


 


I know there's someone over on Automatic Washer who loves DeSotos, I forget their Username. I believe this was their dream car (I call the '61 I'm in love with my "DreamSoto!". If anyone  could  send him over here, or send them the picture, I'm sure they'd love it.


 


The woman driving it is Anne Forgarty, A famous fashion designer.

 

[super-sweeper]

The world's golf-course capitol!

See? Here's the ad for Florida I told you about! Florida looks like it was FUN back then (And it still is, mostly-But more than just Florida has gone down in fun levels!).    

 

[super-sweeper]

Another Kitchen Telephone-

Say, this is my 1,700th posting! woohoo!



Bell Telephone put alot of their ads in the back of these old magazines!


 


I threw some ad about titanium in there, too!


 


Also an ad about electric-starting boat motors!

 

[super-sweeper]

As usual,

We end with a refreshing Coke! I hope you've enjoyed this round of ads!

 

[caligula]

Hi super-sweeper

"What no kitchen phone?"

Is it me, or wasn't that pose of a bride in her new husbands arms used in the opening of 'Bewitched?' I mean the one with Dick York!

Alex Taber.

 

[caligula]

Hi super-sweeper

"That Summer glow--" Just don't tell Anita Bryant! She finished me with Florida for life! Sorry, just had to get my 2 cents in.

RE 55 DeSoto!

A Doctor in my hometown of Lenoir NC drove a 55 Fireflite Sportsman up into the 90s, A good friend of mine was a mechanic and worked on the DeSoto regularly, I happend to be at the garage once when it was there, and he let me drive it back to Dr Hickmans house....it was something else, every available option including air, and it was cold as ice, if you ever drive a older Chrysler product, the power steering is incomparable, nothing ever drives anywhere near as well.

 

[kenkart]

Dr Hickmans other cars!

A 64 Imperial and a 74 Imperial!

 

[arh1953]

It's Delovely, it's Dynamic---IT'S DE SOTO!!!!!

1955 De Sotos in this area! One is a green and white two door hardtop, I think it's a FireFlite, and at a local Antique Automobile Club of America car show, a FireFlite Coronado sedan, in tri tone black, turquoise, and white! Someone for years here, had a loaded 1954 model, whatever the top of the line was, with Chrysler wire wheels, whitewalls, and I think air conditioning. It was for sale within the last 11 years too, hopefully to an antique car lover. 

 

[super-sweeper]

wasn't it 'DElightful,DElovely,DESoto!'?

I could be wrong, but I'm not wrong about Sportsman and Adventurer and FireFlite models resting easy in the car lot on the other side of my woods. That's where I met and fell in love with a 1961 DeSoto-I do hope to make it my own in time! I always say, 'I'll have a LOT of Kirbys to sell to get that car!'

 


Whoever owned it managed 383,000 miles on it in 18 years!

 

[arh1953]

I think it was both, Super-sweeper

So there are De Sotos in Jacksonville? My bro and sis in law live in Mandarin. I hope you get your '61, it certainly is distinctive!

 

[arh1953]

Tell 'em Groucho sent you!

1958 DeSoto introductions on "You Bet Your Life"! Ignore the double imbed, it just happened
