Oct 1976: Barclaycard ad from Barclays (+Stereo System and Freezer) «The plastic card or the rubber cheque?»

This black and white advert compares the advantages of using Barclaycard to paying by cheque. The copy explains that Barclaycard has many advantages as it covers your essential costs, such as season tickets and petrol, while allowing you to pay it back without interest for 25 days.

The plastic card or the rubber cheque?

We're not suggesting that you go round writing cheques without having the money to cover them. We'd never have given you a Barclaycard if we thought you would. But even the most careful people get to the point, when if their cheques don't exactly bounce, they begin to stretch their resources. Like the end of the month. Or when the rates demand, the gas bill and the mother-in-law arrive on the same day. At times like these, you'll find your piece of plastic can be a very flexible way of managing your money. While you use cash or cheques for your regular commitments like the mortgage and household bills, many of your other essential expenses can be covered by your Barclaycard. Your season ticket for instance. Or petrol and other motoring expenses. So you can easily pay everybody on time. And you've got at least 25 days to pay us back without paying any interest. But your Barclaycard can do more than simply tide you over until pay day. It can help you get more out of your money. There may be something you want to buy. A freezer, perhaps, or a stereo system. One way to buy this sort of thing is to save. But the way prices are going, your savings may never catch them. It makes sense to buy now. And once you've decided to buy something, there's no simpler way than with your Barclaycard. You won't waste time filling in H.P. forms and waiting for clearance. And with Barclaycard, you can vary the amount of each repayment. Even so, we know a lot of people are still uneasy about using any kind of credit. (Even people quite happy to borrow thousands for their houses.) But in our experience, it's the people most concerned about using credit, who turn out...

Oct 1970: Train Travel ad from British Rail Inter-City «Make Inter-City your permanent way-there and back»

This is a British Rail Inter-City advert comparing train travel between Cambridge and London with car travel. It promotes the idea that Inter-City trains are quicker, more comfortable, and more convenient than driving.

Make Inter-City your permanent way-there and back

It could do 160 on a motorway (if it were
allowed to). But even then it couldn't regularly
achieve the same average as an Inter-City train
between Cambridge and the centre of London.
And it hasn't got a restaurant car.
And it hasn't got 180 yards or more of leg room.
And it can't carry unlimited luggage.
And it doesn't park itself and drop completely
out of your mind at the other end.
And finally, whatever its road testers may
claim, it doesn't really ride and corner as if it
were on rails.
Inter-City gets you there and back in a day
in a way the quickest car can't do.
Your best Monday to Friday trains are:
Outward
dep. Cambridge
arr. Liverpool St.
arr. King's Cross
Return
dep. King's Cross
dep. Liverpool St.
arr. Cambridge

Train Service Cards give all the details of departures and arrival times. Always have one with you. Your secretary
can get one from any station or rail travel agent. Or she can ring and have one sent to you.

Oct 1973: Gancia ad «A TASTE OF EXTRAVAGANCIA»

This advertisement presents a woman in a large hat with a bottle of Gancia in the foreground. According to the ad, this wine is a great way to treat a lady.

A TASTE OF EXTRAVAGANCIA

Miss Connie Ediss. In 'The Circus Girl' Connie Ediss had a
light-hearted song called 'The way to treat a lady. In it, she
complained of being left alone at Lords while her husband
went off for a drink.
A better way to treat a lady is to split a bottle with her:
best of all if the bottle is Gancia. Unlike ordinary table wines,
which are made from small, sharp grapes, Gancia takes its
sparkling sweetness from big, juicy muscats. Grapes so plump
and sweet you could eat them straight off the vine.
It's possible, of course the husband in the song couldn't
afford to treat the lady. But happily
a bottle of Gancia costs little more than a pound.

Oct 1974: Corvette ad from Creda «The cheapest hot water comes from a cold tap.»

This is an advertisement for the Creda Corvette, a mini boiler that provides hot water for homes with only a cold tap. The ad highlights how it can be used for different purposes, such as boiling water for a cup of tea, bathing a baby, washing hands, and cleaning.

The cheapest hot water comes from a cold tap.

Boiling water on tap. All it takes to install a Creda Corvette is a 13 amp plug
and a screwdriver. Connect to the cold tap, and in two minutes it boils water for
a pot of tea. It even hoots to tell you it's ready.

The mini boiler for the mini budget. The Corvette provides hot water for
homes with only a cold tap. Hot for bathing baby, boiling to clean his bottle.
The exact amount you need, no more. No problems.

Lashings of hot water. For washing hands, washing up and general cleaning.
With the Creda Corvette, you've got hot water on tap. It will boil almost a gallon
in just twelve minutes.

And Cheaper. There's probably no cheaper way to install hot, even boiling
water on tap. The Creda Corvette needs no plumbing and costs £18.47
(inc. VAT). And you needn't heat a tankful of water, just to fill a basin.
The Creda Corvette.
