From Australia, Oct 1949: Corn Flakes ad from Kellogg's «Kellogg's CORN FLAKES keep energy UP!»

$This ad promotes Kellogg's Corn Flakes as a nutritious and convenient breakfast option, suggesting it provides one-third of your daily food needs. It highlights the energy value and ease of preparation while emphasizing its cost-effectiveness compared to a traditional heavy breakfast. Kellogg's CORN FLAKES keep energy UP! It's not how much you eat for breakfast - but what you eat that counts. Food experts say it is just as foolish to skip breakfast as it is to over-eat-especially heavy, fatty foods. The ideal breakfast is a light but satisfying and energizing meal - such as Kellogg's Corn Flakes. These big, golden flakes not only taste luscious but they are crammed with energy value. Only 30 seconds to serve ... no greasy washing-up ... no messy pots and pans. So serve Kellogg's Corn Flakes to all your family. Nothing can equal them for flavour, energy value or freshness. Remember to always say "Kellogg's" before you say "Corn Flakes". Food experts say: "One plate of Kellogg's Corn Flakes with milk and sugar, plus fresh fruit and bread and butter (or toast) gives you one third of your daily food needs," Compare the cost with a heavy breakfast! It isn't necessary to quote prices ... you know what you have to pay for eggs, bacon, tomatoes, fish, lamb's fry (etc.) these days! One serving of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is but a fraction of that cost. What's more, one plate of Kellogg's Corn Flakes with milk and sugar is equal in energy value to three eggs, two big helpings of lamb's fry or three fish! Save time, trouble, money$

From America, Oct 1937: Golden Shell Motor Oil ad from Shell «Time to change - You need this FAST-FLOWING, TOUGH-BODIED motor oil for winter STOP and GO»

An advertisement for Golden Shell Motor Oil, recommending a winter grade change to ensure smooth starts and reduce engine wear. The ad highlights the fast-flowing and tough-bodied nature of the oil, developed through extensive research to withstand high temperatures and prevent sludge build-up.

Time to change - You need this FAST-FLOWING, TOUGH-BODIED motor oil for winter STOP and GO

It's stepping on the starter that wears out your engine - not stepping on the gas.
Automotive engineers state that approximately 34 of all engine wear occurs in the starting period. Hence, when you change to winter oil, change to the oil made especially for Winter stop and go-the NEW GOLDEN SHELL MOTOR OIL.
New Golden Shell, developed at a cost of over $3,000,000 and 3 years of research is FAST-FLOWING. It reaches each part in your engine the instant you start... puts a wear-reducing oil cushion between every metal surface.
New Golden Shell is also TOUGH-BODIED. It withstands the high temperatures of your steady running-resists breaking down into power-stealing sludge and carbon.
It takes only 15 minutes to have your crankcase flushed and refilled with the correct winter grade of new Golden Shell. There is a Shell dealer in your neighborhood.

From America, Sep 1966: Computers ad from Ibm «Great Catch ...and Safe at Home»

This advertisement highlights the role of IBM computers in the Gemini 11 space mission, emphasizing their use in spacecraft simulators and onboard systems that contributed to successful rendezvous, docking, and re-entry procedures.

Great Catch ...and Safe at Home

On the very first day of the Gemini 11
flight, the astronauts performed the
most exacting assignment in space
to date. They caught Agena in less
than one orbit. Astronauts Conrad
and Gordon made it look easy. They
knew their jobs. They had already
"flown" this rendezvous and dock-
ing mission time after time with the
help of IBM computers.
Weeks before the actual launch
of Gemini 11, the astronauts re-
hearsed this mission at the controls
of a spacecraft simulator connected
to IBM computers. The computers
simulated the events they would
face on the three-day flight.
Repeatedly, emergency condi-
tions were sprung unexpectedly on
the astronauts and the NASA flight
controller team-situations that re-
quired immediate and accurate
decisions.
Then-with the help of the little
IBM computer on board-they went
out and did it in space.
On the day when Gemini 11 came
back to earth, the small IBM com-
puter that had gone along in the
spacecraft on every manned Gemini
flight did something it has never
done before.
Astronauts Conrad and Gordon
decided to bypass their usual man
ual work during re-entry, and let the
computer-driven guidance system
control this precise process. They
were ready to take over instantly if
their computer let them down. It did
let them down, in a nice way-
"right on the money, "within one and
a half miles of the aiming point.

From America, Sep 1945: Candy ad from National Confectioners' Association (+Orange; Drumstick; and Assortment) «Reach for all three - Each contributes to good nutrition»

An advertisement from the National Confectioners' Association promoting the nutritional benefits of candy, alongside an orange and a chicken drumstick. A variety of candies are shown in the ad, implying candy can be a source of energy and contribute to a balanced diet.

Reach for all three - Each contributes to good nutrition

An orange, a drumstick and candy
- each symbolic of a whole group of foods
that taste good and also have some of the
nutritional elements our bodies need.
Since the days of the cave man, who reached
for the sweets of wild berries and wild honey,
man has been eating to satisfy his appetite.
Modern science, delving into the sources of
human hunger and into the make-up of foods,
has discovered we all need proteins
for body building, vitamins for efficiency, and
fats and carbohydrates for energy.
It also tells us our appetites for various foods
may be due, in some degree, to the fact that
those foods give us these vital things.
Delicious candy, as a food, gives us,
among other good things,
a wealth of quick energy.
Perhaps that's one reason our bodies tell us
to like it so much.
COUNCIL ON CANDY of the
NATIONAL CONFECTIONERS' ASSOCIATION
Headquarters: One North LaSalle Street, Chicago 2, Illinois
... an organization devoted to maintaining high standards of
quality in candy and the dissemination of authoritative informa-
tion on its use as an energy-producing, morale-building food.
WAR NOTE: If your favorite
candy is scarce these days, re-
member war conditions cut
sugar supplies short. Candy
makers are doing their best-
so, if you can't find your fa-
vorite, try other fine candies.

This image contains recipes for three dishes with Heinz Tomato Ketchup, and also includes 13 ways to please hungry youngsters! New Minute Meals by Heinz are perfect for children's lunches and dinners.

3 money-saving dishes with the exciting flavor lift of HEINZ KETCHUP

THAT A WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE there is in Heinz Ketchup-with that rich, distinctive flavor that's never beer equalled!
• No other ketchup tastes like Heinz, because we alone use famous "Aristocrat" sun-ripened tomatoes. We even supply farmers with specially grown plants to be sure we get perfect, meaty tomatoes. We use our own fine Heinz Vinegar, selected spices, and a secret old-time recipe that's made Heinz Ketchup the world's favorite.
• Heinz Ketchup is the one "best" everyone can enjoy. Ketchup costs so little compared with the food it glorifies, we call it "the biggest flavor bargain ever." Heinz Ketchup goes further, too, because it's so much richer and thicker.
• Wherever you see the famous Heinz Ketchup bottle-in homes or restaurants-you know the cook buys the very best. Use Heinz Ketchup both at the table and in your cooking.
Meat Loaf Aristocrat
• Combine 11/2 pounds ground beef, 1 cup soft bread crumbs, 1 egg, slightly beaten, 1/3 cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup, 11/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion. Mix lightly, but well. Shape into a loaf in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Beef Bouquet
• Sauté 2 slices bacon, cut into small pieces, and 11/2 pounds chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes, in skillet until well browned (about 25 minutes). Stir in 2 tablespoons flour. Add 1 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup, 2 tablespoons Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 teaspoons of salt. Simmer, covered, about 2 hours or until meat is tender. Serve over hot noodles. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

From America, Sep 1972: 1973 Dodge Charger ad from Dodge (+Coupe with Landau Top; SE; and Hardtop with Halo Roof) «Charger finishes 1,2,3 in the 1973 styling race.»

This image is a vintage advertisement for the 1973 Dodge Charger, showcasing its various models and highlighting features such as electronic ignition, quiet ride, spacious interior, and styling options.

Charger finishes 1,2,3 in the 1973 styling race.

Now look at five of the world's best reasons for buying one!
1. New Electronic Ignition-now standard. Look forward to surer starts. The amazing Electronic Ignition System is not affected by cold weather. And as you start your car, it fires each spark plug with up to 35 percent more voltage. Add to that the fact that it is virtually maintenance-free. The Electronic Ignition. A worry-free time-saver and money-saver. And it's yours on every 1973 Charger.
2. New Torsion-Quiet Ride. That's the suspension system once used only on Chrysler's full-sized cars. It's designed to go a long way toward eliminating all those annoying road and engine noises that sometimes sneak into the passenger compartment. This year, it's standard equipment on all Chargers.
3. Family-sized room. Charger is actually one of the roomiest medium-sized cars in America. (That's just one of the reasons your wife and kids are going to love this car.) Charger not only gives you interior room-it gives you trunk room. You'll be able to fit nine suitcases and one golf bag inside. Remember all those places you wanted to go last year? Geta Charger and get packing.
4. New super quiet Charger SE. For more than a year, Chrysler engineers have worked to make the SE one of the quietest medium-sized cars on the road. They analyzed every path through which sound and vibration could enter the passenger compartment. Then they attacked these spots with an impressive list of sound-deadening equipment that makes your Charger SE a quiet haven from noise. And this is over and above the benefits you get from Torsion-Quiet Ride.
5. Choice of styles. Dodge takes the greatest shape on wheels, then gives you a choice of three distinctive-looking vinyl roofs. The popular...
