More Vintage Ads - Just For Fun

I had a great week at the ePharma Summit, despite getting caught in the middle of Snowpocalypse 2010 and getting trapped an extra couple of days. As always, I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people and exchanging ideas, as well as many good presentations. Kudos to the organizers on a successful conference.

I took notes! And I'm brewing up some posts that I hope to get to soon. Because attending these conferences always gets my brain juices flowing.

Meantime, I'll keep it light, and wanted to share a couple of fun new resources for vintage advertising that I ran across on Twitter:
  • Huffington Post: Outrageous Vintage Ads: This collection includes some health-related ones, such as the Camel ad that proclaims "More Doctors Smoke CAMELS Than Any Other Cigarette!" A shout-out goes to @Zero7KC for the link.
  • Vintage Ad Browser/Medicine: Organized by decade, these go all the way back to the 1830's and include both Rx and OTC products. Our pharma friends Pfizer, J&J, and Wyeth all make appearances. Thanks for the tip, @Shimcode.
I'd posted on vintage pharma ads before, and got a great response, so I hope you guys enjoy these as well.
