I love ads of this period. They all Sound like they were dictated by a mustached man in a courdory jacket, standing with one foot on a table, elbow on knee. Come to think of it (which is the kind of phrase Mustache Man would like), I don’t think I have seen this many words in an ad in my adult life. Excluding pharmaceutical ads.

Warning: all people who used the VideoDisc System are either dead or will one day die. Coincidence?

This post would not be complete without mentioning that my most faithful reader illustrated the Airplane poster, a small corner of which is featured in this picture. He also happens to be the owner of a very fine mustache. I leave you with that thought. And also with a reminder that “the great catalog of RCA VideoDiscs contains more than 130 great movies, classics, concerts or shows.” .
