Looking through some old magazines at work i saw some ads which has been pretty commonplace. Yes there was the artistic trade school ads but my favorites are the "if you can draw this you too can be an artist" types of ads that has been all over day time TV and in the backs of comic books for ever.
But here's the kicker. The magazine i was looking through was a McClures magazine from 1908. This same batch of issues had a "where are they after the war" kind of article about once prominent members from the Confederate States of America. The war of course being the Civil War. Yeah thats an old magazine. And those little artist ads have been around for a really, really long time.
