DESCRIPTION

Tan beautifully without burning!

This digital magazine ad is from the July 24, 1939 issue of LIFE magazine:

“Here’s a marvelous scientific product, SKOL, that actually filters out those rays of the sun that cause blisters and ugly, painful redness. Skol lets you tan comfortably, beautifully, even if you are blond. Made after a formula originally developed in Sweden for snowburn, Skol is now used on beaches in 25 countries. Be sure to apply Skol before you go out in the sun and again after each swim! It’s not greasy, doesn’t show, won’t pick up sand.”

WHY WE LOVE IT

Illustrations from the 1930s are always fun to see. We love the hand drawn illustrations – something not created with a computer program.

We also enjoy reading the copy in vintage ads – the wording is usually very appropriate for the era, and not the kind of wording you would see in magazine ads of today.

CREATIVE USES

There are many ways you can use digital scans of vintage ads – both in your home decor and for your art projects.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Unique Gift Wrap – Download an image and have it printed on large format paper (i.e. 11″x17″) and use the paper as unique gift wrap. You can also print the image on your home printer and use the paper for small gifts.
• Scrapbook Paper – Incorporate the digital image into your artwork, journals, or scrapbooks.
• Gift Cards or Tags – Resize, scale, or crop the images and use them for gift tags, greeting cards, stickers, or placecards. 
• Home Decor – Print a color copy of the ad, frame it and hang it in your home or office.
• Iron-On Transfers – Print the ad on iron-on transfer paper and create t-shirts, tote bags, napkins, and other craft ideas with fabric.

We’re sure you’ll find lots of uses!
