RETRO ADS FROM AFRICA

This 1986 ad from Côte d'Ivoire is my favourite. It's for a mosquito repellent called Super Timor.


This ad demonstrates the hand-to-hand combat skills you'll inhale when you smoke Gauloises cigarettes.


This 1960 ad from South Africa aims to flog a badly-named hair product called Petrol Hahn.


This one isn't from Africa, it's from Hungary and it's for a bug spray. Compare/contrast with the top one for Super Timor.
