Airflow Company (1980s)

This ad for an air conditioning company is funny, but would likely not go over well today. With plenty of cases of inappropriate workplace behaviors, we wouldn’t really want to encourage anyone wearing revealing bathing suits like this. Even in an advertisement, we don’t think people would have much patience for this kind of things today.

Sears (1910s)

Did you know that about 100 years ago, you could actually buy a house at Sears? Back then, you could score yourself a 12-bedroom house for $6000. Even with inflation, that’s about $172,779 which is still a pretty amazing deal for a 12 bed room house. You’d be hard pressed to find a much smaller home in decent condition for that price.
