Another ad from the files |
|
 Here's another ad that I pulled out of the microfiche. This one would have run in the woman's magazines of the day, like Women's Day,in the late 1950s.
Granddad made most of these ads himself, since he'd spent years in the advertising industry in Minneapolis before founding PRP. Certainly they show the social thoughts and mores of the time. For example, these days "snooping" would make the protagonist in this ad seem, well, not the best girlfriend material. But, back in the 1950s nobody would have thought it reflected badly on a potential girlfriend. There was some correspondence in the folder with this ad, showing the different places granddad sought to run it. In addition to the woman's magazines, he occasionally ran this ad in the news magazines of the time like Newsweek. And, back in the day it would have cost granddad $380 ( almost $3000 in 2008 dollars ) to run this in the back third of Woman's Day, so it was a number of years before the company had grown large enough to have a revenue base to support that. |

We run our business differently |
I'm always saddened to read about the misfortune of others. Today, it was Steve Warshak and his company, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, who may a product that isn't a competitor of ours, but is certainly in the same business -- Enzyte. You likely know about him from those " Smiling Bob" ads on television. Steve was just convicted of massive fraud, and will be going to jail and paying a half billion dollar fine. A half billion dollars!
  I'm happy to say that, unlike the other male enhancement products out there, we have never been accused by the Federal Drug Administration of any shenanigans, nor even come under investigation. Granddad did undergo some issues, especially early on in less progressive communities, back when a postal investigation could easily land you in jail, but every time he was cleared. Most of those times the postal investigators became satisfied customers themselves. My heart does go out to the family of Mr. Warshak, except for his mother, who sounds kind of unpleasant herself. |

From our friends in the former Soviet Union |
|
In my last post, I mentioned that we had quite a number of folks from Russia reading the site. Here's something I found one one of these sites, translated into English by those nice folks at Google. "Great! That magic pills are totally changed my life! Before taking the pills, my erection always caused brain collapse or reversible blindness because all blood from my body needed to "pump up" my cock. Now it takes less than a litre!
So, I can evolve simple mental activity and even post to dump.iof.ru!" Now, I'm not sure how whomever this is got them, since we don't ship to Russia ( because the freight charges are just insane ), but I'm glad that we've been able to help him however we did. |
