The ad has a picture of an Iowa farmer, Mr Orval Quaas, checking out his tractor at night while his wife holds the Coleman Floodlight Lantern which makes any nighttime repairs possible.

Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their 3-way Convertible Cooler. The largest picture shows this unit upright at the beach with the tide rolling in behind it and the headline asks you to "Look at this picture of a Coleman Cooler. Now turn it sideways. Then turn it upside down". The set of lower pictures show it being used as a left-hinge refrigerator, a right-hinge refrigerator and as a cooler with the top lifting off. The text explains that, no matter how you have your campground set up, a Coleman 3-way Convertible will make it work. It talks about the big 68-qt capacity, seperate compartment capable of holding a 25-lb block of ice and the same kind of insulation used in $500 refrigerators. With this unit only costing about $30 you are urged to get acquainted with it. |

Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Coleman Jugs. The ad has a picture of a young boy quenching his thirst with the chilled liquid that is pouring from the Coleman Jug that he holds over his head. The headline implies that the thought running through his mind is "How do Coleman Jugs keep their cool?" but we all know that he is probably thinking about the grounder that went between his legs or how nice the girl sitting in the stands looks. We adults are more interested in facts like that and the text tells us that Coleman uses the "very same super urethane you'll find in a $500 refrigerator". It talks about how well this product works and that it is also used in the other Coleman products that are intended to cool. It reminds us that Coleman is the "Greatest name in the great outdoors". |
