Description
A wealth of advertisements from the 1950s covering everything that could be bought for a dollar, from vacations in Las Vegas to cigarettes as mood enhancers. Colorful advertisements are more than just records of past products and campaigns. They are a suggestive record of everyday life in America when McCarthyism was on the rise and capitalism reigned.
