ToysRUs and Toy Safety in 1976
This public safety announcement from ToysRUs in 1976 is one hell of a great ad. From the November 25, 1976, Milwaukee Sentinel, the ad offers seven tips from the US government for how to make sure toys are safe for kids. My favorite tip? #7 and the suggestion to discard toys that cannot be fixed. Those poor toys that are broken don’t even get a chance at life as battlefield casualties.
