Vintage magazine ads offer a fascinating glimpse of real-life history, an archive of what advertisers thought the world wanted. Ready to frame, matte or laminate, these authentic classic ads can add to the unique decor of your home, business or showroom. My ads are authentic, and carefully cropped from original publications. See our website at vintageadguy.com .
History- (edited from Wikipedia) The Lux brand was founded by Lever Brothers (now known as Unilever) in 1899. It was originally called "Sunlight Flakes" laundry soap. Their early ads highlighted the product’s gentleness and how it protected the daintiness (ie- stopped you from stinking).
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition and measures 10 ½ x 15 inches.
