Stimulating professional atmosphere...

Chrysler Corporation, Space Division, 1963

[thegikitiki]

The romantic honeymoon getaway of 1962. A time when you could drive a vehicle the size of a small apartment down a dirt road, trailing non-biodegradable streamers, with nothing in your pocket but hope and a booklet of Bank of America Travelers Cheques. Before ATMs and universal credit cards ruined the thrill of manually countersigning a piece of paper to buy a sandwich in a foreign country, this was the absolute pinnacle of financial security. Nothing says "I love you" quite like ensuring your funds are refundable if lost or stolen while your car gets 8 miles to the gallon.

Sourced from the July 1962 issue of Reader's Digest.

Understanding your needs...

Avon Cosmetics, 1961

[thegikitiki]

1962. A time when we looked at a cow and thought, "You know what this needs? More dehydration and better branding." Carnation is pushing their "Magic Crystals" here, which sounds less like a dairy product and more like the power source for a low-budget sci-fi laser. You have to admire the sheer aggressive wholesomeness of the fruit backdrop; they are trying very, very hard to convince you that rehydrated dairy dust is just as natural as a fresh plum. It’s the wholesome nourishment of milk, minus the fat, and arguably minus the milk part, too.

Sourced from the August 31, 1962 issue of Life Magazine.
