1956 A Head for Figures

Here's a 1956 ad for Jantzen Bras that you won't soon forget.

Not sure what to say about this Jantzen bra ad from the October 1956 edition of Mademoiselle magazine.  Shall we conclude that the illustrator drew this after a multi-martini lunch with the fictional Don Draper?

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's

    It’s a kind of Medusa, but with bras instead of snakes!
