These Ads appeared in ‘Guide to Karachi’ for American Soldiers stationed in Karachi during World War 2. Obviously the target market was American Soldiers which explains outright opportunism shown in some of the advertisements. Interesting regardless.
- Height of Flattery
- Service above sales
- Where did they go
- They had a beautiful office
- Sialkot for sports goods.. even in 40s
- No tears for you Atalrai – We have many street vendors selling these services now
- I am sure they must be better than Jimmys of today
- My vote for the cleanest ad
- They have a phone no. too
- Very English
