Oct 1918: Evans Pastilles ad from Evans Sons Lescher & Webb Ltd. «The Great Germ Offensive»

This advertisement promotes Evans' Pastilles as a precautionary measure against microbes that cause diseases such as influenza, catarrh, pneumonia, and diphtheria. It claims the pastilles strengthen vocal cords, prevent throat irritation, and loosen phlegm.

The Great Germ Offensive

begins with the colder weather. The
warmth and brightness of summer have
gone, and with them the disease-resist-
ing power which they lend to the
system.
With the first chill days comes a
lowering of the vitality and a corre-
sponding increase in the activity of
disease germs.
Overwork; exposure; sudden changes of
temperature; occupation of crowded rooms of
workshops are all factors which aid the
microbes' attack on the system.
You can successfully guard against all germs
which attack the mouth and throat by taking
The effective precautionary measure against the microbes
of Influenza, Catarrh, Pneumonia, Diphtheria, etc.
THE unique antiseptic proper-
ties of EVANS' PASTILLES
strengthen the vocal cords,
allay and prevent irritation of
the throat, and loosen any
mucous secretions (phlegm)
which may be present.
You can always recognise genuine Evans'
Pastilles by the "raised bar" on each
pastille a patented mark which no other
pastille possesses, Evans' Pastilles are the
best and they are worth protecting from
substitution.

This advertisement features the Ford Anglia and Ford Prefect cars, which are hailed as the first light cars in the '5-Star' Class. The advert highlights the cars' attractive appearance, spaciousness, performance, and low running costs. The vehicles are described as safe due to their all-steel welded integral body and hydraulically operated clutch and brakes.

More room and style at less per mile

The new Anglia and new Prefect are beautiful in appearance and seat four big people in
comfort. There is unusually large luggage space. These two new cars give really
'big-car' performance, yet ideally balanced power-to-weight ratio ensures low
petrol consumption, reduced engine wear and remarkably low running costs.
Independent front suspension, as on the famous Zephyr 6 and Consul, provides
easiest riding and safest cornering. All-round visibility, hydraulically operated clutch
and brakes and all-steel welded integral body make these cars superbly safe. See
them at the Motor Show. There is a Ford Dealer at your service in your Town.

This black-and-white advertisement from 1957 promotes the consumption of eggs. It suggests adding six more eggs to one's shopping list to create a week of meals. The ad highlights the nutritional benefits of eggs and assures customers of their quality through a lion stamp, indicating examination and farm-freshness. The eggs are stamped with sizes and consumers are advised to quote the number to their shop if they have a complaint.

Take 6 more eggs
-and plan a week of wonderful meals
Here's a way to use eggs that makes
any dish a birthday special. It's called
'Add-an-Egg' cookery, and the trouble
it gives you is no more than to add six
or so eggs to your weekly shopping list,
and then add them one at a time to
your favourite recipes.
The point about 'Add-an-Egg' cook-
ery is that, from Sunday to Saturday,
you really add to the food value of your
meals. Add an egg to a jelly, and you
make it a pudding in a million. And
have you tried an egg in soup, in milk
puddings, in mashed potatoes? There
are a lot more suggestions in the new
'Add-an-Egg' cookery book.
Planning the week's meals has no
terrors for the housewife who knows.
how much good an egg really does. Eggs
have the goodness you and your family
need to keep healthy and fit-plenty
of protein, some iron, and important
vitamins. That is why eggs are such
wonderful food value for money.
The farmers have a lion stamped
on your egg so you know it has been
examined for top quality and farm-
freshness before it went out to the
shops. It is also stamped 'large',
'standard', 'medium' or 'small',
according to size. This way you know
you are getting full value for money.
There is a number on your egg too.
If you have any complaint quote the
number to your shop.

Take a look at this-it's the 'works' of a G.E.C. television set. The part that sees that you

CLEAR for ACTION!

Out of a billion acres of potential farm land, Australia has millions of acres covered with bush and scrub, all useless until cleared. On hundreds of tracts of such land throughout the country, Australians everywhere have found that, with the use of a "Caterpillar" Diesel Tractor, this scrub can be easily cleared, exposing acres of good earth. Under cultivation, it will produce food needed by a hungry world and a good living for its owners. The tremendous power and all-weather traction packed into a "Caterpillar" Diesel Tractor, and its rugged dependability have made it the world's finest machine for this work. Here, as in many other fields, "Caterpillar" contributes to the welfare of the nation.

This advert from 1971 features a range of electrical devices including a colour television, a mono television, a unit stereo and two radios. Each product is advertised with a short description, the features and a price.

PLEASURE / PYE FOR THE PEOPLE.

PAGE 8 SUNDAY MIRROR, October 17, 1971

One year of wedded bliss. So Colin gave Jenny a Pye
'Wrist' radio (she could wear it instead of a bangle). And
Jenny gave Colin a Pye Mistral (he said it had a shape as
nice as hers). Just one year, and already they're thinking
alike. The Pye Mistral has the shape of radio to come, sleek and
gently rounded. And it has performance that's every bit what you'd
expect from Pye. You get LW, MW and VHF (for your local
station) and it's supplied with a personal listening earpiece. Price:
about £13.42. The 'Wrist' radio (Model 1400) packs a remarkable
lot in something so small. It has a wrist strap,
personal earpiece, sleek modern styling, MW and rely on
LW-all for 8 ounces and about £6.67.
PE
Football isn't the game it used to be, said old Uncle
Norman, it's dull and grey and lifeless. And he glowered
at his set. Then he got a new Pye mono TV and what a
revelation. He can actually see who's kicking the ball.
He can even lip-read what the players say when the ref
sends them off. That's what a marvellous new Pye set can do for
you. You probably have no idea how black and white TV has
improved since you got your old set. Take Pye Model 98. It has a
stylish white cabinet. There's a 24" squared screen tube - full of
detail right into the corners. The picture is as crisp
as can be. You get push-button tuning, full sound rely on
and all Pyè's reliability. All for about £88.40.
PE
Mum loves football now. Dad likes to watch the Galloping
Gourmet. And the kids can hardly believe their luck. That's
the kind of effect a new Pye Colour TV has. But Pye Colour
sets are much more than a pretty face. Push-button controls give
you a choice of entertainment at the touch of a finger. Pye...
