Jan 1937: Antiseptic ad from Listerine

«Another Evening Cancelled BY HALITOSIS»
This vintage advertisement depicts a woman whose social life has suffered because of halitosis (bad breath). The ad promotes a specific product that eliminates the bacteria that causes this embarrassing condition and leaves the mouth clean and fresh. Another Evening Cancelled BY HALITOSIS She couldn't hold her friends- because she couldn't hold her breath! THERE was a time-not so very long ago-when her life was full of fun. Invitations to dinners and dances, theatres and parties rarely left her with an evening to herself. Then one by one her friends dropped out. Invitations ceased. Long-standing engagements were cancelled. She couldn't think why. And none of her friends had the courage to tell her. Halitosis (unpleasant breath) is the unforgivable social fault. The tricky thing about it is that you never know when you have it. In 90% of cases it is caused by fermentation of tiny food particles in the mouth. Listerine Antiseptic halts this fermentation. Takes away all suspicion of odour and does this quicker than any other germicide-its effect lasts many hours longer. A morning rinse with Listerine Antiseptic leaves your mouth clean and fresh and your breath sweet all day long. From all Chemists 1/6, 3/- and 5/6 a bottle. MADE IN ENGLAND Ask for Listerine Antiseptic at your chemist's to-day. No one will know why you want it, for it is an antiseptic with a hundred uses in the home.

From America, Jan 1947: Instant Coffee ad from Borden's (more at @OldInPrintAds.bsky.social)

(+Ground Coffee)

«C'm'on now-what other coffee ever gave you all this?»
An illustrated advertisement promoting the convenience, economy, and deliciousness of a coffee product. The ad features illustrations of a man being served coffee by an angel, a woman picking coffee cups from a tree, and a woman preparing coffee in her kitchen. C'm'on now-what other coffee ever gave you all this? 1. More delicious-or your money back! We could write you a book about that heavenly Borden flavor! But it's quicker like this: If you don't like Borden's better than any coffee you ever tasted-ground or instant-we'll give you your money back!* 2. Magic convenience-No pot, no grounds! If cups of coffee grew on trees, they couldn't be quicker. No waiting for coffee to perk or drip. Just drop 1/2 to 3/4 of a level teaspoonful in a cup, add hot water. No pot to wash. No grounds. No waste. That's why Borden's is perfect for breakfast. WHAT MORE CAN A COFFEE GIVE YOU? WHY NOT SERVE BORDEN'S EVERY MEAL, EVERY DAY? OR AM I KEEPING YOU FROM THE GROCER'S? 3. And, for economy, half again as many cups! Users tell us they get half again as many cups from a regular jar of Borden's as they get from a full pound of ground coffee. Think how much that will save every week! Remember, Borden's isn't half coffee. It's all coffee-no dextrins, dextrose, or maltose added. That's why it goes so far. *Use at least half a jar of Borden's. Then, if you don't agree it tastes better than any coffee you ever used, send us the jar with the unused contents, and we'll cheerfully refund your money.

Jan 1933: Bourn-Vita ad from Cadbury's

«Bourn-vita is the better bed-time beverage because-»
An advertisement for a bedtime beverage promoting refreshing sleep. It features text describing the benefits of the beverage, including its pleasant flavor and its ability to soothe and repair while sleeping. Bourn-vita is the better bed-time beverage because- .. after testing hundreds of malts Cadburys discovered one with the following advantage over others: The malt in Bourn-vita has a pleasant flavour. This is far more important than may be apparent. For modern science has shown that you cannot benefit fully from anything you do not like. And you will enjoy Bourn-vita. Although it contains malt one of the most valuable waste-repairing foods known-it has not that excessively "malty taste" which many people dislike. Cadburys tested hundreds of malts and at last found one with the right dietetic value and a flavour which everybody likes. You can obtain full benefit from this malt, too. Cadburys use a low temperature process which preserves all the diastase in the malt. This is the substance which makes Bourn-vita so easy to digest, and this explains why a cup of Bourn-vita helps the digestion of your other foods. Similarly, the vitamins A, B and D are preserved in Bourn-vita to perform their valuable functions in promoting normal nutrition and healthy growth. Bourn-vita is the ideal bedtime beverage. It soothes you to sleep and while you sleep it does its work-building and repairing so that you wake the next morning "feeling fine."
