Catch You A Man
Thankfully, in today’s society, women do not have to capture a man in order to be deemed successful, but this was not always the case. Numerous antique advertisements targeted ladies with “helpful tips” to avoid spinsterhood. Where do we even begin with this old advertisement? It is so outdated that one is practically compelled to chuckle. The first thing you see is a bride chasing a guy with the statement “It’s leap year girls,” implying that this is the year to get married because you have an extra day. Because the majority of women believe that the path to a man’s heart is through his stomach, the doughnuts are certain to work! And last, the chain and ball behind her back, implying that marriage is essentially a jail.

The Perfect Gift
During the 1950s and 1960s, testimonials were a popular marketing strategy. Consumers were receptive to messages from “happy customers,” despite the likelihood that the wording for the advertisements was prepared by the advertising agency. This antique advertisement genuinely induces sympathy for pregnant Jean. In it, her husband gushes about how happy, beautiful, and expectant his wife is with her brand-new washer and dryer. As if a woman experiencing the difficulties of pregnancy would welcome the addition of additional responsibilities to her list. A gift that would be greatly appreciated would be if her husband did the washing himself.
