I stumbled across Vintage Ad Browser today and after searching for coffee realized they have over 600 vintage ads promoting coffee. A significant number are for Maxwell House. I found this one is a good example of a campaign they ran. The slogan, “Everybody knows the sign of good coffee,” was run on a lot of their ads and refers to the way the woman is holding the coffee cup. It looks like they were trying to start a little viral way of requesting a certain brand of coffee. Another one I liked, above, has a cool illustration. It would make a great poster. And then this great ad shows a clever “taste test.” Anther clever headline from Columbian.
John S Volborth Which coffee used the line, “Welcome pilgrim, your search is ended?” Thank you for your time..JV -1 Reply June 13, 2010
