I love these series. Brings back lots of good memories despite the sexism. I had one of those flicker shavers at some point. That Palmolive commercial with Madge seems to have run for decades and it was so stupid. It’s an early indicator that the key to advertising is simply repeating your product name as often as possible no matter how absurd the use case.

Avon, Coppertone, Cover Girl, Jantzen, Maybelline, Pendleton – I’ve purchased their products, even if not the ones advertised above. Some items predate even me! (age 84)

I remember Dolcis. They were quite expensive if I remember right.
And the Pendleton Sportswear. Are they serious with those heels?

Wow, BoB. What a great post to accompany your return!
Oh, those “glamorous” glasses in the top ad – My Aunt Helen’s eyewear.
Interesting and amusing to compare the elegant depictions of ladies in older ads with, like, that pastel rainbow Hang Ten gal’s awkward pose. Not a good look, dear.
Also, I’m no hoplophile, but looks to me like all four of those “cowgirls” in the Lee ad are exhibiting poor trigger discipline.
