I'm guessing that this ad campaign was popular throughout the 1970s (see this 1972 ad too). Although I prefer Boye needles myself if a campaign like this was run today it would be a bit of a turn-off!

Madison Avenue Monday: Every Girl Needs a Boye
As I'm in a crocheting mood this ad "spoke" to me today. It's from McCall's Needlework & Crafts, Spring 1978. The condition of the ad itself is not-so-great because it's actually from the back of the magazine -- my attempts at retouching it didn't really help. (smile)
