Father's Day Ads – 1955

Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there! 

As I usually point out, it's the one day a year that I'm jealous of my two brothers, who both have nice families and great kids. But then again, they had a great role model to learn from.

Anyway, here's a less-than-ample sample of Father's Day ads circa 1955. It's funny how advertisers back then decided that all dads should resemble middle-aged captains of industry. And that they should be referred to as "Pop."
