[IRCA] Lots of old radio ads at this site



>From the Jan 14 edition of the Internet Scout Report:

15. Ad*Access
http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess/


The Duke University Libraries has an extensive physical and online
collection of advertisements that appeared in magazines and newspapers
in
the U.S. and Canada from 1911-1955.  The Ad*Access collection focuses on
advertisements in five main subject areas: Radio, Television,
Transportation, Beauty and Hygiene, and World War II.  Visitors should
read
the "About Us" section to learn about why the collection was created and
its
importance for research.  Visitors can "browse" the collection by the
aforementioned categories, product, year, and company.  For example,
"War
Bonds" are listed under "Product", and visitors will find that the
messages
in war bond advertisements are quite frank, and insistent, that people
should help the war effort.  Visitors should check out the following ads
found when browsing war bonds: "I'm Saving to go to Ag College...And
Buying
Bullets for Pete!", "Avenge Pearl Harbor! Buy Bonds! Give Bonds!", and
"Your
Bond Purchase Makes These Nazis Shiver". [KMG]
