Madison Avenue Monday, Halloween Edition: The Wrinkle Is Dead

This oldie-but-goodie Madison Avenue Monday returns to haunt us this year.  Every time I see this ad for Dan River fabrics I can't help but laugh.  Scary!



From McCall's Patterns Fashions, circa the mid-1960s

    1. They certainly wanted to make a statement, didn't they? "Buy our fabrics or die!" Or something...!

    1. Marketing should always be this creative...though perhaps not as scary! ;-)
