B&O HISTORY. 1928. "The advertising war with Hellesens" USE HELLESENS BATTERIES AND AVOID BEING KILLED! "HUMILIATION"! IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE BURNED OUT. AVOID IS BY USING THE B&O ELIMINATOR! The largest Danish battery factory, Hellesens, found its sales being threatened by Bang & Olufsen's Eliminator (see previous post) and started a vicious campaign which warned against the dangers of linking radios up to mains electricity. Undaunted, young Bang & Olufsen responded with an equally hard-hitting attack on Hellesens' batteries. The strategy was successful: in 1928 Bang & Olufsen became Scandinavia's largest manufacturer of Eliminators. @bangolufsen #bangolufsen #bangandolufsen #beohistory #beosound #beolab #beovox #beolit #beosystem #vintageradio #danishadvertising #oldhifi #advertisinghistory #madeindenmark #scandidesign #artwork #1920s #roaring20s #artdeco #dansk https://www.instagram.com/p/CAcp-Txpxqk/?igshid=1g5g5421xg9zx

Infographics: The History of Billboards

As many know one of the oldest forms of advertising is billboards. Whether they were just simple signs indicating the location of a business or actual billboards advertising a new offering. They have always existed as a way to inform a large group of people about a product or an offering. As technology has advanced through the years, the type of billboards has evolved. Information on billboards is now being represented in a more interactive and engaging way. They now offer new capabilities that allow them to better convey advertising messages and visuals. On this post, we would be sharing the history of billboards using graphics.

The History of Billboards

Even though the billboard advertising has evolved over the years the general concept has remained the same. Though billboards have evolved from static nonmoving pictures to more digital and connected billboards that have made advertising more effective, they are still big, beautiful displays designed to reach audiences on a one-to-many scale.  Today we will see the history of billboards. We would take a trip through time and see how billboards have been used and changed throughout history.

USE THIS SOAP BRAND OR RISK SOCIAL ALIENATION! Nothing like a little "stank shaming," which Lever Bros. famously perpetrated, particularly with women who -- in other print advertising worse than this boxing-themed Lifebuoy soap ad from 1944 -- it would suggest consequential divorce, spinsterism, general ruin and loneliness. "Remember, you perspire more in summer -- run a greater risk of offending others and making yourself unwanted," this comical Lifebuoy pitch reminded consumers in the sub-caption.

Only you can prevent forest fires! Smokey the Bear (actually his given name is Smokey Bear) made his debut 75 years ago today. From the mid '40s to the early '70s, Forest Service illustrator Harry Rossoll’s “Smokey Says” cartoons appeared in newspapers nationwide. Rossoll used this hat as a basis for the bear’s hat.🐻 Smokey is the mascot of one of the nation’s longest-running public service advertising campaigns—and he’s captured the nation’s attention. In 1966, a TV special, “The Ballad of Smokey the Bear,” premiered on Thanksgiving, featuring music by Johnny Marks (known for holiday hits like “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”) Swipe ➡️ to see sheet music from the show. Lyrics included “Wears a ranger’s hat, a shovel in his hand. You know that he protects forest land. Smokey the Bear. Roams everywhere. He’s your friend, my friend, Smokey the Bear.”🎶 #SmokeyTheBear #SmokeyBear75 #SmokeyBear #EnvironmentalHistory #AdvertisingHistory #AdHistory #Illustration #AmericanHistory #philanthropy #MusicHistory #SmithsonianMusic #SingForSmokey https://ift.tt/2MgCsrt

In between the road trips, barbecues and pool parties that we have come to associate with Memorial Day, many people do pause to reflect on what the day personally means for them.

Several of our customers have shared with us photos of family members who have served and so we put together a photographic tribute to these individuals (below). Behind each picture, we know, is a story of courage, sacrifice, love and more.

These stories deserve to be told and many family historians are trying to ensure that they are. Some make their way into public archives and curated exhibits for local historical societies and museums around the country. The pictures and stories they feature tell us about experiences – both on the war and home front – during some of the biggest military conflicts in U.S. history.

Here are some snapshots from a few of them…

Much has been written about the important role that women played to support the wars. Here are some great picture from the New York Public Library showing a woman working the assembly line during World War II.

In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re looking back at history through our Digital Collections. ⠀ These images show women during World War II building the SS George Washington Carver and planes. They are part of the @schomburgcenter’s collections. The role of women in the war effort was crucial, and many worked in tasks that they rarely had the chance to do before. ⠀ (Images via @nypl Digital Collections; IDs 1260397, 1260405, 1206620, 1260402, 1260401)

This YWCA poster from World War I depicts a female switchboard operator at work.

View this post on Instagram

Women known as "Hello Girls" operating the switchboards were critical to victory in World War I. Fire, retreat, stand down—these commands were sent by phone. Operating the phones was demanding, requiring quick thinking, speedy hands, and tolerance for rude treatment. Serving in France, the operators also "withstood submarine warfare, cannon fire, influenza, aerial bombardment, and petty-minded bureaucrats," as author Elizabeth Cobbs puts it. This poster by artist Clarence F. Underwood for the Y.W.C.A. United War Work Campaign depicts a member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit seated at a switchboard.

There are also poignant images of those waiting at home while loved ones were away on war duty. This one from the WWII museum in New Orleans features a framed photo that a crew member of PT-305 – a patrol torpedo boat that is now restored and on display at the museum – kept with him the whole time he was in service.

This framed photo of Marion Cirlot hung on the bunk of PT-305 crew member Joseph Cirlot. Marion and Joseph married in Miami shortly before PT-305 was sent to the Mediterranean theater. Joseph kept her photo and this frame during his entire service aboard PT-305. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The frame is displayed in a case of artifacts related to PT-305 — the Museum's fully restored WWII partrol-torpedo boat — on the second level of Louisiana Memorial Pavilion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read more about PT-305, and come aboard for a ride or deck tour: pt305.org

Combat conditions were often brutal as this photo and piece of trivia about WWII bomber crewmen (courtesy the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force) reminds us.

Cold today? WWII bomber crewmen flew for hours at 25,000 feet, where the temperature dropped as low as -50°F. The Memphis Belle waist gunners pictured here—Scott Miller (l) and Bill Winchell (r), wore heavy clothing and electrically-heated suits. Visit the Strategic Bombardment exhibit to see the warm weather clothing used by bomber crews.#Polarvortex2019

When you’re far away from home, a little bit of downtime can be a good thing, as this languid portrait from the National WWI Museum and Memorial indicates.

There are also some not so well known stories behind famous photos. For example, this iconic WWII shot from Times Square on V-J day was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt, an American photojournalist of German descent. What most people may not know is that Eisenstaedt actually served in the German Army during WWI but emigrated to the United States in 1935 due to oppression in Nazi Germany. He and his family settled in New York City where he soon became known for his work behind the camera, primarily for Life magazine.

The photographer of this iconic LIFE cover was wounded in action in Flanders during World War I. Photojournalist #AlfredEisenstaedt was born on Dec. 6 in 1898 in Poland. He was best known for his LIFE cover photographs, including the sailor kissing a nurse in Time's Square, celebrating the end of WWII. He served in #WW1 as a German artillery soldier.

Outside of museums, there are other efforts to gather oral histories of people who have fought in or lived through wars. For example, the National Home Front Project run by Washington College in Maryland is scrambling to get as many stories from WWII veterans and civilians as they can before it’s too late. The primary goal is to document as much as possible about the experiences of people at home during the war.

The project has students doing the bulk of the interviewing and recording. And that approach – of getting nineteen year olds to sit down to talk with ninety year olds – is what sets it apart.

As Adam Goodheart, one of the historians overseeing the project, says: “An older person often is more comfortable sharing stories with people from that very young generation than they are with people closer in age to them. When they sit down with a group of people who look a lot like their grandchildren, they have a sense of passing along their story to a new generation.”
