'Mad Men'-Era Advertisements

"Mad Men," an AMC show about the sin, swagger and back-stabbing salesmanship of a New York City advertising agency in the 1960s, not only became a smash hit but also launched a cultural phenomenon. Harking back to an era when women were considered subservient to men, these are real ads from the 1960s. This American Airlines ad shows a flight attendant and the line, "Think of her as your mother." (Dallas Observer)
