EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage photograph, a cardboard sign advertising Exide Batteries proudly sits along the side of a dusty road. The sign, with its faded colors and worn edges, exudes an air of history and nostalgia. The long-life batteries are advertised as the go-to choice for motorists, with the tagline "Exide - The Long Life Battery" prominently displayed. The sign is held up by a woman dressed in a vintage skirt, tweed jacket, and a beret, adding to the historical feel of the image. She wears a pair of white gloves and holds a marker in her hand, perhaps preparing to update the mileage on the sign. In the background, a classic automobile with a crank handle can be seen, further emphasizing the motoring theme. The cardboard sign, with its simple yet effective design, is a delightful example of advertising from a bygone era. The use of a woman to hold the sign adds a personal touch, making the advertisement feel more approachable and trustworthy. The plaid skirt and beret also add a touch of coy charm to the image. Despite its aged appearance, the sign remains a testament to the enduring quality of Exide Batteries. The long-life promise of the batteries has likely drawn many a weary traveler to stop and take notice, ensuring that the brand's reputation for reliability remains strong. This photograph is a wonderful addition to any collection of automobilia or historical advertising images. Its vintage aesthetic and nostalgic charm make it a delight to behold, transporting us back to a simpler time when cardboard signs were the norm and long-life batteries were a novelty.
