Ad for space-race condos, 1961


I love the design for this 1961 Saturday Evening Post huckster ad flogging condos built in the shadow of the burgeoning US space program: "How can you miss? Be one of the first to own prime Florida land right in the "path of progress" in the already established community of Port Malabar–only 32 miles south of Cape Canaveral. Don't delay and be sorry at the opportunity you missed. Act Now! Mail the coupon — get all the facts–then figure out how big a 'Piece of America' you can afford at these rock bottom prices." Love the lettering!
