I don't have them all. I have about 8 of those. This is a list I use when I'm looking thru piles of LIFE magazines at antique malls. Thought others might find it useful. If you want to see each of these, go to google books and click on the LIFE magazine. Then you can search thru all issues of LIFE magazine for these and other ads. Make sure you click the "search all issues" box.

Tremendous effort, Buler - Thanks!

Thanks for posting this, buler. A previous post by you turned me on to the google books/Life magazine thing -- not only is it a fantastic resource for hat ads, but the ability to view every page of every Life magazine makes it an amazing Golden Era resource for all Loungers...

Cheers,
JtL

Could you please provide direction on how to do that? I tried 'google books' and various searches involving 'life' magazine, and nothing came up regarding searching back-issue pages.

Go here and click on any of the Life magazines. Search function is on the left.

Thanks for bringing this up! I have been looking for ads at antique malls and have yet to find any. Most of the TIME Life magazines I have come across are from the late 50s or throughout the 60s. I finally bought a couple of the ads from eBay.

These are great - thanks for sharing.
