I so miss Easters of old, now — the new (or even old!) topper, gloves, shoes, pillbox hat; the men dressing up, too… candies.. and a jukebox!❤️

These are delightful! Even the motor oil one. I’d give a lot to have a suit like either of the women in the first two ads.

Stop right there! Go no further than #1. That’s me and my sister in our identical Easter outfits just before church, Dad taking a photo which usually had someone’s head missing, and Mom hissing at us through clenched teeth to stand up straight and stop fidgeting.
Happy times at Easter! 🐣

The advertising reflected the culture. Fortunately I am just old enough to remember some of the motifs that lingered into the 70s. Thanks for posting.
