Retro Ad of the Week: Old Spice, 1942

It’s interesting to see how the definition of “manly” changes over 60 years. While today it’s embodied by, well, a good body, back in 1942, it was (clearly) all about the mystery of the nautical world.

FUN FACT: While Old Spice may define what is manly, the first product they launched was for women. It came out in 1937. The men’s product didn’t follow until a year later. (Source: Wikipedia)
