One thought on “Vintage Ads with Dogs”

  1. I wonder what was in it too! The premise of putting a the image of a pet in an ad to sell more–in this era it was a breed dog–has been around since ads were hand drawn on flyers and included prized horses to help sell whatever was the product. I’ve been in advertising for 45 years and I love studying old ads. The language is so Victorian in some, and the layout, the fonts, the art, it’s so much fun.
