How old is that? I can't imagine getting a Thermos at that price. Just curious.

Looks like late-40's/early-50's...

Most likely between 1953 and 1956.

Now the big question, the ad is pretty hard core with talk of babies dying, do you think modern ads are just as bad, worse, or more refined?
I think modern ads tend to be a little more refined in how they get your attention, but try to scare you just as much.

Thermos? Never bought one for disease prevention, only to keep drinks cold.

Hey, those ads for security systems are pretty bad.

I tell you what's bad... Some of the commercials for pharmaceuticals... There's one 60-second spot for an anti-depressant that says no less than 6 times: "May cause death..."

Yeah, I'll rush right out and ask my doctor to give me some of that!!!
