UNUSUAL AD: 1950'S DUPONT BABY IN CELLOPHANE AD


Don't try this one at home folks! 

Even though it was different times back in the 1950's when children were told babies were delivered by storks, not sure why an ad like this was approved even back then, except it is jarring and captures your attention.

While the ad is to tout how you can see what you are buying, things stay fresh and sanitary.  
"You see what you buy so no guesswork."
"Foods come stay fresh longer-less waste"  (Next to a drawing of a baby?!)
 "And things in Cellophane are clean and sanitary." 
Note the tagline in the bottom right-hand corner ""Better Things For Better Living...Through Chemistry".  Ironic as it certainly wouldn't be better living (or life at all if in that Cellophane too long) for that baby.
