20th century advertisment

This advertisement from the 20th century represents language change in a way that they use to spell words differently to how they do these days. For example the first line of the advertisement 'a cosey seat' The word cosy was spelt 'Cosey' where as now days we haven't got an 'e' in the word anymore.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This poster shows a dramatic change in language as it is advertising a instant cure for toothache using the word 'cocaine' these days cocaine is classed as a very harmful illegal drug and we don't have it advertised on posters these day because drug awareness has increased over the years and therefore we would never advertisement drugs in the 21st century. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This advertisement has changed in terms of grammar over the years. For example the sentence on the poster advertising ketchup; you mean a women can open it? implying women are weak and cant open things. This is sexist; something you don't expect to see on advertisements now days.

  1. Well done Hayley, you have chosen some good texts, and you are beginning to explore them. Can you make links to the visual cues?
