Its funny, that's a 1940 ad; but to me, at least, the image has a very 1970's feel to it. Don't know what it is, but that just struck me - the coloring seems very 1970's.....

And then WWII broke out and screwed everything.

That is a cool ad for the time.

Refreshing, to me this ad is more effective with less industrial psychology.

Thanks again for posting.

I thought "psychedelic". Makes me wonder if it worked, but likely never had a chance.

Makes me want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
