From the clipping files: 1970s Reigel Sleepwalker pajamas advertisement

Original ad text reads:

"Thank goodness, she was hip enough to get me a Riegel Sleepwalker of DuPont's 100% Orlon acrylic in this crazy new print." 

Sleepwalker also comes in the new hot range of colors: lemon peel, blueberry, orange crush, raspberry and huckleberry. 

And two new, un-icky print, Humdinger and Bear Blossoms. 

Plus something no one has ever had: DuPont's 100% Orlon acrylic fabric to make it softer than any blanket sleeper has every been. 

Naturally, the Sleepwalker is warm, washable, and has a non-stick nylon zephyr zipper and Riegel's exclusive non-skid Plastic-Dot Safe-Sole. 

And comes in small, medium, large and extra large. 

Why are we so soft with these kids, giving them Sleepwalker, Softsorb diapers, quality knit underwear and such? 

It's our contribution to a bridge over the generation gap.

From the clipping files: 1970 Toyota Corona advertisement

Original ad text reads:

You loved it the way it was five fantastic year. so we made it even more lovable! 

The Toyota Corona was ahead of its time. It lead the new wave—economy cars that offer more than just a bare set of wheels. We intend to keep it ahead. 

So, we've improved it. Quite a bit. 

First, we gave it twenty percent more horsepower. For greater acceleration and speed. We did this with an overhead cam engine that still gets up to 25 miles to the gallon. it's not only more powerful (108 hp), it lasts longer. Because of fewer moving parts. 

Also, a lot of aluminum is used in our new engine—where it makes sense. To lighten the car and to dissipate heat faster (which also reduces wear). 

It has a five bearing crankshaft, instead of the previous three. And dual exhaust manifolds, instead of one. 

Then we gave the Corona a power braking system with front discs. For great stopping power. 

And a newly engineered suspension system, front and back, for a smoother ride. And also to deaden sound. 

Inside, the seats come two ways. Buckets with the 4-on-the-floor stick shift. And with the column-mounted, 3-speed automatic, you get a full bench seat. 

There's more leg room, more hip room and a bigger trunk.  

The four doors are still there. So is the flo-thru ventilation, the nylon carpeting, the tinted glass, the courtesy lights, the whitewall tires and the locking glove box. All standard equipment. 

And the options are the same. Factory air conditioning, AM/FM radio, stereo tape deck and automatic transmission. 

What all this adds up to is the new Toyota Corona. 

For drivers who are in love with the best. 

Until it's improved.

Original ad text reads:

Love under wraps. 

The love food from California is all wrapped up in famous Danola ham from Denmark. The mellow, nut-like flavor of the California Avocado is perfectly mated with the lean, meaty flavor of Danola Danish Ham. Together, they're wrapped and ready to go as a first class appetizer or classy first course, when dressed with your favorite dressing. (We're partial to French.)

From the clipping files: 1973 Baby-Shaped Kimbies throw-away diapers advertisement

Original ad text reads:

How the diaper that fits better absorbs better. 

It stands to reason doesn't it—a diaper that fits better is going to absorb better. 

And Baby-Shaped Kimbies diapers fit the way no square diaper can. Because Kimbies are shaped like babies are shaped. And Safety Taped to keep them snug. 

Inside, Kimbies are made with thick, absorbent folds that can't pull out, not matter how active your baby gets. The folds put more absorbent diaper where your baby needs it most. And, they snuggle up to little legs. So there's less chance for accidents. 

Of course, Baby-Shaped Kimbies have some other nice things, too. Like their soft, waterproof cover. And the way they're completed lined so no plastic touches your baby's skin. But the best thing is the way they work. And Baby-Shaped Kimbies diapers work better. 

Baby-Shaped Kimbies
Better fit is only the beginning.

From the clipping files: 1973 Pampers diapers advertisement introducing the new concept of disposable diapers

Original ad text reads:

A newborn spends so little time in his mother's arms. And so much time in diapers. So 1,694 hospitals use Pampers. 

Even before he was born—when he was an "elbow" or a "kick" in your tummy—your baby made you feel all sorts of loving, giddy feelings. 

Now that he's born, you're dying to give him a tiny squeeze. But he can't be in your arms all the time you want. Because so much of the time he's in the hospital's hands. So the hospital does lots of little things to make a baby feel loved, wanted, and comfortable, too. 

One of the things is Pampers. Pampers aren't a diaper you wash, so they're always fresh and clean. 

Pampers are diaper and pants in one, so your baby doesn't need plastic pants. There's nothing to bind or chafe his tiny thighs or bottom. 

Pampers are waterproof outside, so they help keep your baby's clothes and crib dry. (This is great help to the hospital and it will be to you, too.) 

Pampers has a Stay-Dry lining. Moisture goes through it and is absorbed below—away from your baby's tender skin. His little bottom stays drier. He stays more comfortable. 

No wonder so many hospitals think Pampers are the best all-around way to diaper babies. 

After you use them, you'll think of Pampers as a little bit of love you can wrap your baby in—when he's not in your arms. 

Pampers. A nice dry place to grow up in.

From the clipping files: 1975 Dodge Dart Special Edition by Chrysler Motor Corporation advertisement

Original ad text reads:

Dodge is right on target with the '75 Dart Special Edition. It's a lot of luxury in a little car. 

If you've found that a lot of small cars today are pretty small on comfort and style, then the '75 Dart Special Edition is the small car for you. It has an array of standard features that are usually anything but standard. Seats covered with crushed velour upholstery. Plush carpeting on the floor, halfway up the door, and even in the trunk. Map pockets are standard. So are color-keyed wheel covers. And front disc brakes. And power steering. Even the radio is standard. In other words, on the '75 Dart Special Edition, luxury comes as standard equipment. And, as on all the '75 Darts, there are a lot of money-saving engineering features such as Electronic Ignition and electronic voltage regulator and, now for 1975, an optional fuel pacer that can help you save gas. Today, over one million satisfied owners are already sold on Dart. The '75 Dart Special Edition is one beautiful way to make sure there'll be one million more.  

The Dart board proves it. Dodge is right on target with small cars. 

Extra care in engineering makes a difference in Dodge. Depend on it.

From the clipping files: 1973 Big Wheel, Mini Wheel, Sport Wheel and Little Wheel by Marx toy advertisement

Original ad text reads:

Safety study shows Marx Big Wheel most stable tricycle design tested in U.S.A. 

Deluxe Big Wheel
The original Big Wheel with two new features. A handy saddlebag, and a firm-grip handbrake that lets him slow down and stop without dragging his feet. For kids 4 to 7 years old, weighing up to 65 pounds and 40 to 55 inches tall. 

Mini Wheel
The smallest of the Big Wheel line. For tots 1 1/2 to 3, weighing up to 45 pounds and 30 to 38 inches tall. 

Sport Wheel
Like the Big Wheel, only smaller. And just as safe. For the 3-year-old up to the 6-year-old who is short for his age. 60 pounds maximum. 40 to 55 inches. 

Little Wheel
A scaled-down Big Wheel for 2 1/2- to 4-year-olds. Features low-slung stability. Scoop contour seat. Oversized front wheel. For kids 38 to 45 inches tall, weighing up to 50 pounds.  

A five-month study on the safety performance of the best-known tricycle designs in the United States has just been completed for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Bureau of Product Safety. Of all the tricycles tested, the design of the Marx Big Wheel was found to be most stable for children six and under. 

Marx designed the Big Wheel especially for safety. The low-slung seat and extra-wise-track rear wheels prevent turnovers. The oversized front wheel and ground-hugging suspension won't let your child tip over backwards. Notice that non of the wheel have spoke to catch jeans. It can't rust. It can't dent. And it's built to take punishment.
And now Marx has incorporated this same Big Wheel safety design into a whole line of tricycles for smaller children. Pick the model best suited to your youngsters' age, size and weight. They'll have the thrill of their young lives... and you'll have the confidence of knowing you're giving them the most stable tricycles you can buy. 

Marx
If we make it... it can take it!
