These ads are indeed fine art as Chuck mentioned. I have my doubts many at all will be because they’re all loud “hard sell” ads devoid of any charm or humanity, not to mention they’re electronic media fleeting, disposable images.

I like Alice’s comment too, and do agree. I wish that America were still around, but too much has happened too quickly in the last five decades with beauty, simplicity and caring being among the victims. There are still good people doing good things though, there are, even if it’s less common now.

It was fun seeing the ads from over 60 years ago. They are now fine art, I wonder if ads from today will be?
