If Russia Should Win…
... American men would be sterilized!!!The image is a still from the 1940 movie Dr. Cyclops, starring Janice Logan. It was repurposed in the early 1950s as anti-Communist propaganda, appearing (with the bizarre claim about mass sterilization) in Man to Man magazine (Jan 1954).

Somehow this image of a visiting insurance giant is not reassuring to me. He implies more destruction, rather than solace.

Giant terrorizes mechanic
It's been a while since I've added anything to my occasional series about giant people in ads. But here's an example from 1982 that ran in the New Yorker.
This ad was evidently part of an extended campaign Ford ran in the early 80s featuring giant men in garages. Back in 2012, I posted another example from the same campaign.

Giant Telephone Engineers
These 1957 General Telephone System ads are the latest addition to my slowly growing collection of Giant People In Ads.Soon no one will be able to deny the truth of my thesis that a race of giants lives amongst us, and that for decades the advertising industry has been dropping hints about their existence.
