Happy Valentine’s Day With Vintage Ads
Wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day. Here’s some fun vintage ads to celebrate the day. Enjoy!
Chanel No. 5 for $5. Yes please!
We’re feeling very vintage with this old style advertisements. First up, who doesn’t love the gift of perfume? Oh to be a Valentine in the 1950s with Chanel No. 5.
Does anyone out there remember long-distance telephone service? Telegrams were sent since phone calls were so expensive. This vintage ad promoted calls to your sweetie for only $2.00 (+10% federal tax).
Mmm, Russell Stover candy still warms my heart. Growing up in Kansas, Stover, based in Kansas City, was the gourmet chocolate of choice. Did you know that Russell Stover was the first candy company to use heart-shaped boxes for Valentine’s Day? Milk or Dark?
If you like Madge are a fan of vintage ads that are of the oddball variety then this one is for you. I guess getting Valen-timed is better than getting two-timed.
Love this mid-century ad with a heart sketch and some bracelet bling. Who doesn’t love bracelet bling?
There’s nothing like a passbook savings account to warm a girl’s heart. That interest rate looks pretty good right now!
A hat for Valentine’s Day? We couldn’t agree more!
Wishing you and yours a Happy Valentine’s Day!
