Remember this classic ride on toy from the 1970′s.  This should make you all warm and fuzzy feeling all over. It’s the Hasbro Romper Room Inchworm! The cool thing about inchworm [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/how-time-flies/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/how-time-flies/#comments Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:04:09 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2289 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/how-time-flies/feed/ 5 Last week was rather troubling, somehow my computer picked up a virus or was attacked by some malware.  I am not sure of all the gory details, because I just wanted it fixed immediately. Luckily my husband was able to get me back up and running quickly- although at the time it seemed like days [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/whiskey-196-style/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/whiskey-196-style/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:18:05 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2069 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/vintage-ads/whiskey-196-style/feed/ 9 So the 2010 Winter Olympics are over- football season is done and there are still 3 months of winter left if you live up North. By up North- I mean Wisconsin, Minnesota, the U.P. and of course Canada- the motherland. I know it’s not all about watching television and staying indoors. Sure there are plenty [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/odo%e2%80%a2ro%e2%80%a2no-the-deoderant-without-a-doubt/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/odo%e2%80%a2ro%e2%80%a2no-the-deoderant-without-a-doubt/#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:50:40 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1847 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/odo%e2%80%a2ro%e2%80%a2no-the-deoderant-without-a-doubt/feed/ 9 Here’s a product from 1950 that’s a mouthful to say… it’s NEW Odo•Ro•No cream deodorant. My husband claims the deodorant is actually called “Odor o No!” Ummm okay- but then why didn’t they place the bullets in the right places? To make this all even more interesting- the rock band The Who actually recorded a [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/spencer-support-the-1950s-solution-for-tired-housewives/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/spencer-support-the-1950s-solution-for-tired-housewives/#comments Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:43:31 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1714 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/spencer-support-the-1950s-solution-for-tired-housewives/feed/ 4 You may have noticed it’s been some time since I posted on here… the main reason is that my husband had foot surgery in August and I have been on my own with most of the chores and driving up until recently. With five children in the home- I have been feeling very tired and [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/blog/vintage-star-wars-public-service-announcements/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/blog/vintage-star-wars-public-service-announcements/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:49:24 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1680 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/blog/vintage-star-wars-public-service-announcements/feed/ 17 Recently I saw a public service announcement warning of the dangers of drunk driving. The television spot was kind of unique in that is was really, really bloody. In the commercial- a man struggles with removing blood from his face, on office documents he is handling, and later his hands while washing them in a [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/bathing-1971-style-its-all-about-naked-joy-baby/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/bathing-1971-style-its-all-about-naked-joy-baby/#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:43:24 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1339 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/bathing-1971-style-its-all-about-naked-joy-baby/feed/ 16 I am hitting the vintage magazines again, leaving the 1940′s movie magazines aside for awhile and I am back to the most fabulous decade of them all the seventies. The seventies were fabulous for two things and just two things only- one ME and two ME, I mean Star Wars. I am just kidding- the [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/vintage-toaster-bacon-high-school-wrestling/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/vintage-toaster-bacon-high-school-wrestling/#comments Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:03:22 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1208 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/vintage-ads/vintage-toaster-bacon-high-school-wrestling/feed/ 23 It’s after the holidays and I thought I would have a little more time to work on the two blogs I am sticking with in the New Years. Vintage Jewelry Pictures has still not been moved off of blogger as of yet. As for this blog- I am still only getting one or two posts [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-gone-bad-cupid-gets-lippy-in-this-1947-ipana-ad/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-gone-bad-cupid-gets-lippy-in-this-1947-ipana-ad/#comments Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:14:12 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1140 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-gone-bad-cupid-gets-lippy-in-this-1947-ipana-ad/feed/ 8 Imagine talking to Cupid… you know the cute little cherubic fellow who shoots arrows of romance into unsuspecting mortals. Would you expect a lippy, little imp or a sweet, romantic angel? I sort of suspected sweet and innocent, until I saw this advertisement for Ipana toothpaste in the September 1947 Screen Romances magazine. It reads: [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-from-1972/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-from-1972/#comments Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:40:54 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1057 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/vintage-ads/vintage-ads-from-1972/feed/ 6 Last week I had the opportunity to read a small stack of Family Circle magazines from 1972. This was great fun for me since I was born in 1972 and gave me a chance to see what was happening in the world from the female perspective… in some ways it wasn’t pretty. Besides the rampant [...]
