I’m amused by the phrase “working wife.” These days it’s morphed into “working mom,” but I guess 40 years ago, balancing work with being a wife was the topic of discussion …

@Melissa – Haha, I bet :) Not many people can say they’ve worked there before!
@Brian D. – Isn’t that funny? There were a ton of other great ads in there too, but would have taken me forever to post ’em all up :) Blasts from the past, for sure.
@Romeo – Yeah! 40 years and we’re still talking about pretty much the same thing. Kinda like that book – The Richest Man in Babylon too, you ever read it? Love this old stuff :)

@JMoney – It was a great a place to work – super intense/cut-throat and full of brilliantly smart people. The knowledge dripping from the writers is amazing – I tried to learn through osmosis as much as possible. ;)
