Advertising in the Age of Innocence ?
Most of these are from the 1920’s. A few are earlier. They all come from the Bekonscot Model Village⇐. You might notice that some of the claims are blatantly exaggerated, but I think I prefer that to the present day subtleties of spin. More here ⇐.

The tonic wine might be more welcome.

I included this because I find it inspiring that so many such projects, both religious and secular, have stood the test of time. They often work quietly in the background and have made a profound difference to the lives of vulnerable people over the decades.

I think they have their own charm. So many advertisements today are just massively irritating. And we won’t mention the ones that flicker at you…

I think you’ve ht the nail on the head. They had “charm”. I can’t think of any modern advert that has that.
