I’ve got some copies of a 1940s magazine called Liliput kicking around. I’ve been scanning the adverts from one of them, and uploaded the lot to Flickr. Here are few examples. I love the way language has changed to make some of them seem slightly rude:  Hollins Capacity Brushes by hairydalek, on Flickr Or this one of a priest enjoying three nuns kind of has a slightly different slant to it these days:  Three Nuns by hairydalek, on Flickr Or the ones for “inner cleanliness”:  Andrews Liver Salt by hairydalek, on Flickr The full set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hairydalek ... 6742472938

I'm sure those adverts caused a fair amount of furious 'polishing' at the time...

Speaking of old adverts, I see the old 80's/early 90's Dulux advert is back on the TV again.
Following on from Milky Way's red car and blue car advert that's made an appearance again recently.

I noticed that again! Really funny how the song came to my lips before I heard each word. Wasn't milky way in a blue wrapper with a red shooting star back then? _________________ He fights for the users.

I like the Mini one. It's very much of it's time.
