These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

A 1953 Hoover Ad

History Daily

This Hoover ad from 1953 showed a woman on the floor admiring her Hoover vacuum cleaner. The ad also stated that “Christmas morning and forever after, she’ll be happier with a Hoover.” This pushed the misguided belief that women actually enjoyed housework while their husbands were at work. But in fairness to the advertisement team that came up with this idea, everything about the ad from the illustration to the wording undoubtedly convinced a couple of husbands to buy a Hoover for their wives.
