From 1946:
From 1947:
And from 1957:
We’d love to hear what you think of these – leave a comment and let us know!

Love ‘em! Give us some more vintage ads!
I love vintage ads, and vintage Michigan ads are even BETTER!!
Very nice!! Would love to see more of them.
Those are the pictures to remember of happy days, where people enjoyed life, and not the everyday hustle and bustle of today’s life-style.
Please continue finding them and sharing. Oh Happy Days!
Update the info and run ‘em again! They’d sure be attention grabbing amongst all the slick, photo-heavy travel advertising you see in most publications. And people love the graphic style, there’s a reason people collect National Geographics from the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, and it isn’t the articles.
