Frank Sinatra Show On ABC TV - Sponsored By Chesterfield

As I have succumbed and bought a packet of cigarettes again today (after a week of resilience) here is an apt blog post - a Chesterfield ad, from the times (50's) when smoking was cool. It is actually an ad for Frank Sinatra's show on ABC TV, with Chesterfield as a sponsor. What you probably can't see written in small letters beneath pictures is a unique way of phrasing things - my favourite is the caption for the penultimate picture, stating: This is satisfaction - man-size satisfaction! Chesterfield! :D Thanks goes to Michaela :)

Vintage Cannes Film Festival Poster

I love the elegance of this scene...Wanted to post this during Cannes festival, missed it twice and I am sure I would do so again heh. Merci mon ami.

Vintage Ads UK

 

I found these reprints in London in Camden Market - there were many more but I wasn't 'allowed' to go wild and scoop them all..! I love Marmite now, though I was very sceptical at the begining...when I brought one small jar home with me noone wanted to eat it after the first taste hehh :)

Currie's Whisky, Scotland

We are in Perth but not as far as Australia - rather in central Scotland, where we visited on a day trip from Edinburgh. A vintage reprint of a whisky ad was a great find! Does google suck or is there really so little info on this online..?
