Sears – 1910s
can you believe that department store Sears used to actually sell entire homes? In fact, you could be the proud owner of a 12-bedroom house for just $6000! Even with inflation, that price it unreal by today’s standards. A lot of people now can’t even dream about purchasing a home at all.

In the 1960’s, demeaning and sexist ads like this one were very commonplace. In this cigar ad, you can see a modern man being compared to a cave man that’s treating a woman like his property. The company is implying that smoking their cigars will make you so manly that you’ll actually become more primal, which today is really not considered to be a good thing.
