I stumbled across these pics a few days ago. Genuine adverts for a brand of towels back during WW2. It was obviously popular and patriotic to use the military in an advert and to associate your product with the military.
"If it's good enough for the boys in green it's good enough for us" right?Hmmm I do wonder however just what message they were trying to portray with these adverts. It sure looks like the soldiers were having a merry old time of it doesn't it? I especially love the look on the Islander dudes faces ....
"What the hell are those 'happy' white boys doin in our canoe and how come they're posing like that? Why is that guy holding that palm like that? .... Damn, there goes the neighbourhood"
