These two interests recently convergred when I discovered a&nbsp; collection of old Valentine's day print advertisments from the 1940s - 1960s using <a href="http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/" target="_blank">Vintage Ad Browser</a>.<br /><br />Below you'll see advertisments from Coca-Cola, Whitman's, Tiffany &amp; Co., and Kreml Hair Tonic. By and large I feel like the ads aren't terribly surprizing: Coke plays it safe, Tiffany is somewhat reverved and stuffy, Kreml plays to the humor inherent to selling hair tonic. The Whitman's sampler ad feels the most racey of all, as it seems to suggest that a gentleman should give a sampler size box to all the girlfriends that he presumably has... REDD approves!<br /><br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.robertredd.com/images/blog/coke.png" border="0" alt="vintage coke ad" width="420" height="624" /></p> &nbsp;<br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.robertredd.com/images/blog/kreml.png" border="0" alt="kreml vintage ad" width="420" height="1042" /></p> <br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.robertredd.com/images/blog/tiffany.png" border="0" alt="tiffany and co vintage ad" width="420" height="606" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.robertredd.com/images/blog/sampler.png" border="0" alt="whitmans vintage ad" width="420" height="578" /></p> <br />It's easy to find more vintage print ads using the Vintage Ad Browser search tool - or just <a href="http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/search?q=valentines&amp;page=3">follow this link</a>.
