I found this old ad on the internet, and thought it was fun....

Thanks for posting the ad; Hadn't seen that one before.
Oh those where the days! Local grocer that sold everything from penny candy to gin! No credit cards either, one had an "account" that was settled up at the end of each month.

don't the two people in the ad look somewhat like Betty and Don Draper?

Delightful yet creepy, and very amateurishly drawn. I like i
The huge, startled woman (who's still dialing the telephone) is communicating with the bemused, middle-aged stockboy in the All-Tide Grocery Store.
It seems that her miniature washing machine just can't get her bizarrely huge basket overflowing with dirty laundry clean.
The mere thought of the deranged woman and her soiled unmentionables has caused our hero's left hand to stray down to regions mercifully obscured by the telephone cord/cumulonimbus cloud. You don't really need to see his left hand. The expression gives away his darkest secrets.

Subliminal seduction
I love your perceptiveness Selectomatic.
Additionally, her mouth is agape. What WILL she do for a box of Tide?
Ah, forget her. He's kinda cute. Let me at him and forget the Tide. Makes me itch anyway...

you guys above crack me up!!!! I had'nt even thought of the guys hand..but on second look..I see what you mean..yeah..he does look like he's getting a hell of a jolley. I always find these old ads entertaining...to think that a women (and only women) is that stressed out over her laundry. My mom was from the 50's/60's house wife sceen..I never remember her having a laundry break down..she used Dash and Clrox and I guess when she was'nt PSM'ing she'd toss a cap full of Downey in the rise cycle. I always find the way gender roles of past were depicted intresting. Readers would have probaby stroked out if it were a man calling for Tide..but then thought nothing of the ad posted a few weeks back of the two hot sweaty men rolling around in their underwear "wrestling" with each other.
