adverts from the past that would never be allowed today
They're incredible by today's standards, but once upon a time these adverts were perfectly acceptable.
From an ad that claims smoking is healthy to one telling mothers they should give Coca-Cola to their babies, these shocking posters give a fascinating insight into a time gone by.
One even tries to promote cocaine a remedy for toothache.

Love it :wacko:
An advert for Drummond Sweaters 'Men are better than women!'.
An advert for Kelloggs vitamins from the 1930s even states: 'The harder a wife works the cuter she looks.'
Whilst in 1954 the Hoover brand claimed: 'Christmas morning she'll be happy with a Hoover.'
I love one of the comments at the bottom:-
"Those were the days when a woman knew her correct place, a helper for the man who is the head of the household, as God intended.. now after 30 years of women's lib ... look at how the country has degenerated"
I of course could not subscribe to such a comment. LOL.
