MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

The simplicity of this North Pole News putz by Howard Lamey is balanced by its accessories--the Uncle Sam poster, the stacked papers on the counter....we love it. Click on the photo. See more of Howard's work here: www.littleglitterhouses.com

Every now and then we come across a vintage ad campaign for a product that really rocks our socks. Think the Kool Penguin ads of the 30’s (see http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-everything-crotons-fabulous_22.html) and the Hueblein Ready Made Cocktail ads of the 60’s featuring Robert Goulet and Peter Lawford among others, (see http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2012/09/more-everything-crotons-fabulous_16.html)  And now, courtesy of our friend X Ray Delta One comes:

MEN WHO PLAN BEYOND TOMORROW! 

A series of futuristic ads from the 40’s for Seagram’s VO Canadian Whiskey—click on the link and be prepared to be…amazed http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/sets/72157630847954116/with/6161340457/

OK—they’re not exactly putz—but these are very interesting http://www.allthingsgrandma.com/paper-mache-christmas-cottages

Very over the top in the glitter department, but these putz houses are still interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bd-JRYw_70

  2. The 'Men Who Plan Beyond Tomorrow' is a superior set of ads!

    And Howard Lamey's take on the classic Newsstand is in itself a classic!
