 Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel! So for this video we're going to be doing something very interesting, very fun, and very daring. What we're going to be doing today is calling vintage phone numbers to advertisements found in these 1950s magazines. Now here's a catch. So in 1950s magazines I never provided a phone number, they provided an address along with this little thing that you would cut out and mail over to get the product. So what I'm going to do to get access to the phone number is google the address and call the phone number attached to the address. So that is how we're going to be doing that. So what I have is this women's gossip magazine from the 50s and this men's magazine from the 50s and if you guys want to see these magazines in depth along with a few others in my collection I have a video up where I'm basically letting you guys see the inside. So I will link that video down below and I'll link that video at the end of this video if you're interested. But let's go ahead and call some advertisements. So let's pick one first. Let's pick one first. I'm going to start off with the women's gossip magazine called Confidential and I'm just going to see what catches my eye. Okay so I found this advertisement for Fredericks of Hollywood. It's one of their collections and I love their stuff so I'm definitely going to choose this one and this is what the page looks like. I am interested in number 258 the French flair which is this gorgeous mermaid dress right here. I love mermaid-shaped dresses. I love how it's like strapless so I'm going to be picking this dress and their address is on Hollywood Boulevard so I'm going to go ahead and google that address. Okay so I looked up the address and it says that no one owns the building anymore. It's not even another business. It is just an empty building and I also found out that Fredericks of Hollywood doesn't have any like physical stores anymore. It's just online so I'm going to call their online store and I am going to ask for number 258 the French flair. Hi my name is Jessica. I was actually calling to order the number 258 the French flair dress. Okay I was just reading this advertisement and there were a few but I guess it is very outdated. Actually to Karen right now we have the store any longer it's just on the online website. Okay thank you so much. You too. She was so sweet. She was like this girl isn't who are what year is she in right now? So let's go ahead and move on to the next advertisement. Next advertisement we're going to be calling is for home personal training on how to be successful at radio television. So it says here you learn by practicing with equipment I send. It says specifically the sample lesson I send will prove to you that it is practical to keep your job while training right in your own home for better pay and a brighter future. My 64 page book should convince you that radio television is truly today's fields of opportunity. An important benefit of NRI radio television training is that you can start to cash in fast. Many men I trained many men I train start soon to make $10 and $15 a week extra in spare time fixing neighbor sets. What are you advertising? I know okay it says it's sending you equipment and there's a 64 page book. Okay so I guess it is just like a book that kind of is like self like teaching yourself and then he sends you the equipment to practice on. So there is an address on here as well. So I'm going to Google the address and I'm going to call whatever numbers attached to it and ask for their equipment and 64 page book on how to be successful in radio television. I got time. I'll wait. I'm looking at an advertisement that's located at your address and I'm wondering if you have the how to be successful in radio television set with the device and the 64 page book. There's an advertisement that I'm looking at right now that says the ABC is of servicing how to be successful in radio television and it says that it comes with a 64 page book on radio television and a device along with it to practice and I'm wondering if you have that in stock. Yeah that's fine. Thank you. I don't have the wrong company or advertisement but it's just the phone number. Oh it says for the National Radio Institute. Okay so a completely different company. It's probably an old advertisement so thank you so much. You too. She was like I'm like the fact that she checked. It's crazy how this national radio institute company is replaced by an apartment leasing vacation home company. So yeah let's go ahead and move on to the men's magazine and pick out some advertisements from here. Wish me luck. So the next advertisement is probably the coolest one we have ever seen thus far but I'm biased because I love Mickey Mouse. It is an advertisement for a projector of Mickey Mouse movies. So it says here on the advertisement it says show exciting new sound movies in your own home. Mickey Mouse projector in theater with thrilling 16 millimeter double featured talking films. It's a 10 day free trial. Now you can show a complete library of exciting talking movies to your friends your family everybody right at home. You receive your Mickey Mouse projector and theater sound transcription and two complete double features. It if not if not delighted simply return after 10 days for a prompt refund. I love how they use the word delighted when's the last time you heard the word delighted in any advertisement. It says now Mickey Mouse Donald Duck Pluto and all your favorite well Disney come comedy heroes come alive right in your own sound theater. All you do is load the big sturdy projector and sound transcription indoors by Mickey Mouse sit back relax and get set to enjoy yourself with laughs thrills and adventures. So the whole set is $2.98 which is about $20 now and this is the honor house products corp business which was really popular these kind of little things and it is located in New York. So I'm going to go ahead and find the address call the number and ask for my very own Mickey Mouse 16 millimeter double featured talking films and projector set. I'm sorry I'm I saw an advertisement on the paper and I'm interested in ordering the Mickey Mouse projector and theater with double featured talking films the honor house products corp. Okay. So I found this advertisement for 500 large glossy pictures of world's greatest sports heroes. They have 8 by 10s 5 by 7s 4 by 5s and wallet size. So it says right here that's right fans this sensational picture collection of the world's greatest sports stars is yours absolutely free.

Now this is not a deal it sounds like a deal now it's like wow it's only a dollar but back in the 50s a dollar was $10 so that is not a deal on any level okay so there is a address it is a new york so i'm going to look up the address the company is called all american sports club department 511 so let's go ahead and find the phone number for this address.
