O.T. Old advertising slogan

[garyphansen]

My Dad gave me a couple old Olsen knifes to sell on E-bay. I wondered when the company went out of business because they were located here in Michigan. I searched Google and did not find the answer. However, I did find what I consider to be a very strainge advertising slogan. ""Fatty, Fatty, run for your life, here comes skinny with an Olsen knife." What kind of slogan is that. No wonder they went out of business. Gary P. Hansen

I always wondered what smart fellow thought up "Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry" (Dupont).

OR...
"We don't make the product. We make it better." (BASF)
That's since been changed to:
"We don't make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better.®"

PGE in California used to use "Now you're cooking with gas!" to promote natural gas. They stopped running that ad about when the news footage started showing images of buddhist monks frying themselves with gasoline in protest over the Vietnam war.

I had a T shirt once with a mini gun on the front and it said.....

"GE, we bring good things to life"

As I remember while living near San Francisco at the time, the hippys at Haight Ashbury district were the only ones really using that slogan. "Things go better with Coke" became more meaningful later in the drug culture.

My particular favorite is the japanese car manufacture, is it Toyota? "Life's a journey, enjoy the ride".

Some years ago a local electrical shop had the latest model vacuum cleaner in the window with the slogan 'Nothing Sucks Like an Electrolux'. By the time I returned with my camera the sign had been removed.

I saw a T-shirt with the name of some second hand store and the slogan "We cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you!"

And there was reportedly a radio announcer who muffed the ad line, saying, "Get Crisco, the all vegetable shortening that needs no refrigeration. Sits for weeks and reeks, right there on your pantry shelf."
