Such fun. Looking back at childhood Christmas mornings, I now suspect my mother’s feigned delight at unwrapping her brand new Hoover covered up her dismay at not receiving a more thoughtful gift from my Dad – the unfortunate target of such ads in the 60s.

Good question! Perhaps that’s Mrs. Claus helping Santa delivering new BVD underwear to good little boys . . . 😉

What is that young woman doing with two men in their underwear in the days when underwear sold for 69 cents!?! Perhaps it was a time of great innocence (though I tend to doubt that). Great ads, Carolyn!
