The old ad campaign for DDT is bonkers. How many species were lost or brought to endangered status because of this poison? #propoganda #DDT #OldAdvertising #OldAds #Insecticide

A cartoon of a stereotypical 50s housewife dances with an anthropomorphic potato, apple, chicken, cow, and dog. They all sing “DDT is good for meee!” The rest of the ad is propaganda about how DDT makes everything better.

Old advertisement I saw - I love finding wacko things like this - how did anyone think this was ok? #oldAdvertising

Old advertisement for a SEXUAL TEMPERANCE SPOON Guaranteed to soften even the most optimistic ardour!

Still trying to find more about the advertising agency D.J. Keymer & Co, and went looking this time in Anand Halve and Anita Sarkar’s “Adkatha: The Story of Indian Advertising” and sadly found only cursory information.

This book tends to be quite uneven and I am routinely disappointed when I go looking for anything specific, but this Wednesday has been made brighter by ads from the years at the cusp of India’s independence.
