Vintage Ads Ephemera Sheets
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
These printable ephemera sheets are made up of vintage advertisements from a visitors guide to Boston and surrounding areas. They include ads for shoe polish, coffee, silver repair, bubble gum, etc. My favorite is the invalid silver repair ad. I imagine a silver tea pot on a gurney being wheeled into an operating room.
If you enjoy these free printables, be sure to follow on Instagram and Pinterest, so you’ll see when I post new ones.

In the early 20th century, magazine advertisements were often more text-heavy than visual. Many advertisements would be written in long blocks of text, often accompanied by a few small illustrations or photographs.
These advertisements would typically focus on the benefits of the product being advertised, often making grand claims about its effectiveness or superiority. Advertisers would use persuasive language and imagery to convince readers to purchase their product.
Magazine advertisements in the early 20th century were still evolving and developing as a medium, but they would become more sophisticated as the century progressed, incorporating more visual elements and focusing on consumer desires and emotions.
