The ads said that this car insurance is cheap because they only sell to careful driver.

So, I guess, you can be customer of this company until you have 1 accident. I guess they will stop continue contract with you after they pay, if they actually pay at all.

Maybe, because the law force us to buy car insurance, so those company exist. Am I correct ? What do you think ?

" Commonly called “trading stamps,” merchants across America offered savings stamps based on the amount of the customer’s purchase. The more one purchased, the more stamps were obtained for the cash transaction.

Stamps were pasted into savings books and when full, could be redeemed at a redemption center chock-full of name brand items, from household goods to appliances, home decor and toys. Depending on the merchant, the stamps offered could be Gold Bond, S&H Green Stamps, or Top Value, among others. "

I think, it work like royalty promotion, isn't it ? Can someone enlightening me on this stuff.

Perhaps it is not like food/fuel/clothes stamps in the Soviet ?!

It is 40% nicotine concentrate.

This is ads about lye (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye), an stuff that help you make soap. So, back in those day, people make soap at home to save cost, not because they want 'homemade' soap.

"Grease" in the ads was fat from animal. People have ton of those because they live in the farm. Grease is one of by-product of butchering animal. The 'lye' is something that help turn grease into helpful stuff (soap) and save cost.

Good old Phone ads.

Too bad, you live in a rented 20m2 apartment.

This ad dates to the early-mid 1980s. The siren advertised is the Penetrator-10 (P-10 for short) which is a 10-horsepower electric outdoor warning siren built by Alerting Communicators of America (ACA). ACA was the siren division of Biersach & Niedermeyer (BNCO), a company previously shown in the Mobil Directo ads. The P-10 boasted a rating of 125 decibels at 100 ft, with a double-sided 10 horsepower motor driving both the chopper (which makes the noise) and the chain-drive rotation mechanism underneath the siren using a gearbox. The siren used weather-resistant fibreglass for the projector and motor housing, which was something ACA was famous for as other companies used steel. It could also be single or dual-tone depending on what was needed.

The P-10 was released in 1980, replacing the Allertor 125 which was the same siren at its core, but used a similar projector to the Mobil Directo. This projector was found to suffer from water building up in the horn and freezing, which would jam up the chopper and burn out the motor. The P-10 didn't have this issue, which is why it replaced the Allertor. The P-10 was also sold alongside the 15HP Penetrator-15, and the monstrous 135 decibel Penetrator-50, which holds the record as the loudest electric siren ever built.

After ACA's bankruptcy and reformation into the American Signal Corporation in 1994, the P-10 was discontinued in favour of the P-15, which would be renamed to the RM-127 until it too was discontinued in 2002. The P-50 would be sold until 2007 under the name T-135AC. American Signal Corporation still exists today, selling the Tempest, E-Class, and i-Force lines of sirens.
