    The incredible vintage advertising/advertisements in each issue makes these awesome for those whom deal in vintage advertising.
    For people who want to frame the ads themselves, they can select wonderful ads to help set off a retro/recreation or theme room. Great for a 'collector'
    For people whom restore vintage automobiles you'll like having these vintage ads of your favorite cars/accessories (radios, gas companies, etc.)
