Ads, pt 5

pt five of ten These advertisements from the 1940's all contain substantial textual material. One has to actually *read* through several paragraphs to obtain the intended message. Compare these with contemporary ads where images, with very little accompanying text, dominate. Does this indicate a loss of literacy over the intervening generations? I would answer: "Yes!"
