Along with everything else, the world of advertising has changed a ton throughout the decades. Advertising is something brands, labels, people, and businesses have done for many years now. There are not many ad-free spaces left in the world anymore, almost every surface can be used for advertising of some sort. Ads can be found online, on billboards, in magazines, on buses, and on every digital screen people have. In the past, ads looked a whole lot different, they had a certain look to them that was kind of peculiar.

Back then, there were no digital ads, of course, all ads were seen on paper, in magazines, or up in windows. The ads themselves featured illustrations and images that just scream old-school. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly makes people know that these ads are old, the lower costs, cool fashion, and vintage vibes give it away, though.

It's neat to go back and compare the world of advertising back then to how it is now. Here we have collected 25 ads from many different companies that were probably pretty revolutionary for their time. These ads showcase the lifestyle of the past.
