    Don't know why I like this, but here's an example of something someone slaved over in the advertising dept of the New York Times, that would otherwise (and should probably) die in obscurity except for the fact that I somehow saw them and they caught my eye because they seem to evoke that time when consumer marketing was a new, exciting and powerful frontier. These ads were targeted to advertiser, not the public - to get them to advertise in The Times. It seems like the car one, with the best visual, has a typo?
