Slogans
Cringe-worthy slogans from the advertising bygone days. If I'm honest I think some of the modern advertising is as bad as these little gems.

 
 
Venus Pencils

Hmmm... We need a witty slogan for our pencils. What about "Always on Point Duty". Genius.

 
 
Phillips' Dental Magnesia Toothpaste

"A 'Magnesia Smile' invites Romance."

 
 
Macleans Tooth Paste

"Did you Maclean your teeth to-day?" - One of the better ones, could still be used today. ;o)

 
 
Kolynos

"half an inch goes a long way." - Enough said.

 
 
Hoover Electric Washing Machine

To think, this one was from the 1950s... "His Christmas gift to you - A Hoover Electric Washing Machine!" (disclaimer: do not try this at home)

 
 
Creamola

"If Fairies Used Soap they'd use 'CREAMOLA'" - Why?
