The baby sporting a razor was the one that inspired a good chuckle from me. I see a lot of vintage ads for Coca-Cola (which I stopped consuming long ago) and I can't imagine consuming a beverage with active ingredientes including, "cocaine" (?) Thanks for submitting all these entertaining ads!

I actually had tears in my eyes from laughing at the ad for Bell & Howel... "Sabrina demonstrates the finest in projection equipment" At least there was truth in advertising...those were the "finest in projection equipment" as far as I'm concerned. LOL
