Over the years I’ve collected many old ads from newspapers and comics, so I thought I’d share them with you. Most are pretty silly and would now be classified as false advertising. We start off by showing you this old ad for a kid’s toy. Selling toys like this, during times of fear and war is a great marketing ploy. To see the much larger scanned copy of this classic ad, click here.

Imagine your thrill when you get inside this authentic replica of the mighty “General Sherman” Tank and charge forward to adventure. You can bet you are using your tremendous firepower to devastate every imaginary enemy in your path. It’s bound to bring more thrills and adventure than you have ever known from a toy.

There’s nothing quite like charging forward into adventure -even if it’s in fiberboard. Don’t you enjoy the truth in advertising?
