Some Ads Age Better Than Others

Merrill Anderson produced this U.S. Trust ad in 1963. Illustrator John Northcross certainly flattered the investment thinkers. Today, alas, it looks like a meeting of the White Men In Suits Investment Club.

And not without reason. In 1963 even some of the trust company's female customers believed investing was, by its very nature, a man's world.

Happily, 1963 also featured transcontinental jets and an all-mighty dollar. Americans could live  lavishly as they drummed up business around the world. These Irving Trust ads still please the eye.
