From Australia, Nov 1961: Corn Flakes ad from Kellogg's

«"Who could blame a bloke?"»
A young boy sits against a brick wall, enjoying a bowl of cereal next to his wagon. Pigeons gather nearby, likely hoping for a dropped flake. The scene emphasizes a flavorful and wholesome breakfast option. "Who could blame a bloke?" There ought to be a better word than "delicious" just for Many good things come in that Kellogg's Corn Flakes packet. But best of all is that flavour. Here's a special flavour we can't describe and no one can copy. Crispness that welcomes milk! More vitamins than the whole-grain corn itself! Quite a dish these Kellogg's Corn Flakes don't you agree? "The best to you each morning."

From America, Dec 1970: RS-820S 8-Track Stereo System ad from Panasonic

(+8-Track Cartridges)

«Open your own 8-track cartridge factory.»
An advertisement for a stereo system with speakers, a microphone, and the ability to record 8-track cartridges, allowing users to create their own music or recordings. Open your own 8-track cartridge factory. This is the tape system that turns blank 8-track cartridges into recorded 8-track tape. One. After another. After another. Slip in a cartridge. Talk or sing into the mike. Use any other sound source. And you're doing what the cartridge recording companies do. Just on a smaller scale. And to help you become a pro at this business we've put the two hottest developments in 8-track together for the first time. Automatic shut-off which makes it impossible for you to tape over what you've just recorded. (Shuts off even if you're not around listening to what's being taped.) And Fast Wind that lets you get where you want to on tape without wasting time. Twin VU meters make sure you get the right recording level. And professional- type sliding bass, treble and volume controls let you adjust the playback to your ears. If you don't feel like working, you can sit back, relax and enjoy pre-recorded cartridges. Or one of the radios built into the system. FM/AM and FM stereo. FET pulls in stations you didn't know were there. And keeps one from interfering with another. AFC on FM holds the signal with an iron grip. There's even a Stereo Eye that tells your eyes when you're listening to stereo. In case your ears can't tell. The whole package, with its black-out dial and walnut-grained cabinetry, plays through 4 perfectly matched, glorious sounding speakers. With enough power behind them to knock down the walls of Jericho. Or make your neighbors climb theirs. Stop in at your Panasonic dealer and investigate our Model RS-820S-the 8- track stereo cartridge factory. A whole new world of fun and profit awaits you.
