For Fans of the Fisher-Price Adventure People: 1980 Newspaper Advertisement!
We saw one ad a few days ago, and with a bit more research I uncovered this ad from the November 11, 1980, Ottawa Citizen newspaper. The more of these old newspaper ads I find the more I wish someone had taken the time to save and scan these at a higher-quality. The ads are fun, but I am betting that if we had access to the original newspapers we could get a much better look at the text and images. These are too small and grainy!
That could be the newsprint, though, so maybe these ads are as perfect as we can realistically hope for.
