Retro advertising postcards were the original junk mail. Like the ads and flyers we receive today businesses would send out these advertisements in the 1940’s. Here’s a look at the styles of hats, shoes, coats and chocolates. I like the retro styled designs.
A look at vintage ads:
This ad features WWII themed practical shoes for war.
Fashionable felt hats for men.
Portis all American style hats.
Roller skating fancy comfort shoes.
These shoes are to be worn for summer sports such as baseball or golfing. Must be before the tennis shoe was invented?
Smart hats for men.
Boxes of assorted candy haven’t changed much.
Halloween themed postcard featuring ladies shoes.
The ads could work as coupons if you brought them along to the store while shopping.
