Antique advertising

These advertisements all come from some mid to late 1800's Peterson's Magazines. I got a stack of them at an auction early in the summer, and they are just priceless! On the off-chance there is an advertising exec. reading this post today, TAKE NOTE - I don't care what you are selling, if your advertisements for products looked like these - I'd be your most faithful customer. These kinds of ads could make hemorrhoid cream sound romantic! {CLICK ON IMAGES TO DOWNLOAD} If
