Ads with Children

These ads are, for the most part, listed on other pages of this web site. I list them here, not just for the products that are being sold, but for the real or drawn children that are pictured. Products for Babies will be listed here too.

These are just a small portion of the ads that we have for sale. None of these are reproductions, all are original. Most of these are large ads, larger than our scanner bed. Therefore the view shown on the page may not completely show the ad. They are placed in a plastic bag with a cardboard backboard for protection. Please e-mail us with your specific interests.

Bell
Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad that is another in their series having a cute baby deliver their message. In this ad the baby is sitting on her little stool talking to her stuffed animal who seems to be paying attention. She is holding up a little blackboard with the message "Long Distance is the next best thing to being there" written in chalk as she lifts her finger and gives a cross-eyed giggle. The headline tells us that "Visiting by phone is in a class by itself" and that "it's easy as 'A, B, C'"! which corresponds to the block that the stuffed animal is sitting on.

Durene
Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 1/2" ad that says it is "Satisfying every way...Duerene-labeled cotton knits". There are three sets of photos of these clothing in action. The first one shows a young child standing up and investigating the contents of a lower drawer in the kitchen. The second shows a young lady standing in her dress and shirt with the cupboard in her right hand and the open door to the refrigerator in her left. The third, largest photo shows a young child sitting in his high-chair with his spoon in his right hand and holding it up for approval as the ice cream on the bottom of the spoon drips just a little bit more. The ad asks you to "Say firmly Durene in any infant's department and see what wonders you get in creepers, coveralls, polo shirts, underwear and socks. Durene is the combed, mercerized cotton yarn with a combination of virtues no ordinary cotton, no synthetic yarn, can touch. It's more absorbent, releases moisture faster. It has a delightful texture that washing only refreshes. It launders beautifully, refuses to sag or stretch, resists shrinking and wears supremely well. Luckily, you can find the same prize performance in knits for the whole family. Keep a sharp eye out for the name".

Kodak
Black and white 9" x 12 1/2" ad for their Home Movie Cameras, Magazine Cine-Kodak and Cine-Kodak "K". The ad has a picture of a baby in diapers stealthily approaching a wary cat from behind and the headline asks "Could anything but a movie camera do him justice?". I have a feeling that the "Bad Hair Day" this child is having will be nothing compared with the wrong turn his or her day will take once contact is made with the cat. The text describes how a dynamo of energy that a young child is will never be captured with a set of still pictures. The ad has a picture that shows both of the movie cameras mentioned in the ad and gives information about their capabilities and mentions prices of $112.50 for the Cine-Kodak "K" and $137.50 for the Magazine Cine-Kodak. The ad talks about how the magazine will load in 3 seconds and mentions that both of these cameras were 16 mm.

Mennen
Black and white 5 1/4" x 13" ad for their Borated Baby Powder. The ad headline claims there are "Startling differences in baby powders!" and the ad tries to show you why the differences are important. The first picture is of a baby inside of a light bulb (warning: no babies were harmed in the making of this ad) and the ad claims that inside of an electric light bulb is the only place that baby might be safe from germs. Fortunately Mennen has more antiseptic so it must be the next best thing. The next picture is a time exposure of a baby on a swing with the caption "Baby's arms and legs are always in motion" and the ad claims that the powder used in Mennen is smoother and finer in texture which makes your baby less likely to be chafed. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
