discombobulate rated 8 months ago- The Ad*Access Project, funded by the Duke Endowment "Library 2000" Fund, presents images and database information for over 7,000 advertisements printed in U.S. and Canadian newspapers and magazines between 1911 and 1955. Ad*Access concentrates on five main subject areas: Radio, Television, Transportation, Beauty and Hygiene, and World War II, providing a coherent view of a number of major campaigns and companies through images preserved in one particular advertising collection available at Duke University. The advertisements are from the J. Walter Thompson Company Competitive Advertisements Collection of the John W.

- The Ad Access Project presents images and database information for over 7,000 advertisements printed in U.S. and Canadian newspapers and magazines between 1911 and 1955. Ad Access concentrates on five main subject areas: Radio, Television, Transportation, Beauty and Hygiene, and World Warr II. Brief History of Beauty and Hygiene Products "The alteration of appearance through the use of cosmetics has been a practise for thousands of years. Oils and fragances have been used for ceremonies and religious rites for just as long. In Ancient Egypt aristocats applied minerals to their faces to provide color and definition of features. The Greeks were also known to paint their faces and the Romans used oil-based perfumes in baths and fountains, and even applied them to their weapons. Alcohol-based perfumes were developed in the Middle East and were brought to Europe by the Crusaders in the thirteenth century. The art of creating new fragrances by blending ingredients like flowers, roots, fruits, rinds or barks, or any naturally occurring aroma containing product. This was an incredibly labor intensive process that required enormous amounts of natural ingredients to produce small quantities of fragrance. In the nineteenth cetnury chemical processes were developed to replace the natural methods."

What an entertaining database! A scary fact is that the ads, which will be created by my in the near future, soon also will become outdated, hilarious and oldfashioned - just like these ads... (Please don't tell my clients if they haven't paied me yet!!)

- This collection of U.S. and Canadian newspaper and magazine advertising from the first half of the 20th century, is a fascinating record of social change.
