I am so glad that Guy did a lot of modeling for print ads in the 1940's and early 50's. The ads do a lot more than just advertise products. They provide a record of American everyday life of a bygone era in a way that nothing else can. And consider the fierce U.S. homeland pride during World War II, displaying war ads as a symbol of support, and companies explaining how they are doing their bit for victory. Some ads are a reminder of what had been and others are a hope of what was to come. Looking at these ads is a trip down memory lane. Some ads are Guy as some artists' illustrations with some very good likenesses. I also include some of Jan Willams' work.
