Is it an actual advert and not one that's been edited?

Either way Yorkies weren't for Girls
Cigarettes were good for your health, long after it was known that it wasn't.
Lead petrol was A-okay because it made the cars run better.

Women were second class citizens. They couldn't get a loan without their father or husband signing for it. I found my parents' tenancy agreement from around 1972, it stated that only husbands were allowed to report problems at the site office!

Also found a letter dismissing my mum from her job in the City as we'd been ill too often and she'd had to take time off work to look after us, and reminded her that they had been wary of taking her on in the first place as she had young children.

Just stick on a fake Burt Reynolds tache like the bloke on the picture and you'll be fine.
