This ad is from the 'Australian Woman's Mirror' from 1955. Apparently fat people are "more prone to accidents" and are "not popular because they take up so much room". Not sure how this explains my lack of accidents and many friends, as I possess various fatty bits. Ahem.
Just some proof that not everything vintage is fabulous...hahah!

Can you believe that? That is just something else. Thanks for the laugh....in a not so funny kind of way.
Boo! hiss! (to them, not you obviously!)
So true-just because its old, doesn't mean its beautiful. Bet the ad is for an "elixir".
Yikes. If I had read that when I was a chubby teenager, I probably would have slit my wrists.
