Modern Publicity 1955-6 Part 2

Continuing the theme of my Retro week, this is the second post from the Modern Publicity annual for 1955-56. I’ve coloured some of the black and white adverts, just to add a little zing to them.

Great play on the word ‘guard’ here, helping to reinforce safety measures around the workplace.

Travel, holidays and festivities.

In my mind, there’s a little nod to the Pilsbury Doughboy adverts here. Perhaps that chirpy chappy (below) was inspired by these even earlier adverts (above) ?

Poke me 9,000 times and I’ll explode !!
