Offbeat Jobs From The 30's And 40's

Wow. People are still falling for these types of ads even now. Similarities between these and the <a href="http://www.paid2review.co.uk/work‐online‐from‐home.html">make money online</a> ads you see nowerdays are huge. I like the "200 toys in an hour" one - like that's plausible. Great post though - made me giggle.

Thank you very much Paula for the update. You are doing a great job keeping these old images alive, and I'll gladly update the article with proper credits.

I'm an admin for the Vintage Advertising group you mention -- I'm glad you like the images, however, flickr has rules about how images must always link back to the ORIGINAL image, and you MUST credit the owner of each image (not just the pool). It is only fair, since it the content belongs to each of them, and they spent the time collecting and scanning their finds. Flickr has a BlogThis feature that does all the work of linking and crediting for you. Thanks. Here are some of the flickr owners: Be an Artist, Giant Frogs - Al Q - http://www.flickr.com/people/alcue/ Be a Magician, Hamsters ad - Mando Maniac - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mando_gal/
