20 Bonkers Classic Comics Adverts You Won't Believe
20. Frontier Cabin
What kid doesn't want to play at being Walden? Probably most kids, as they don't know who Walden is. They probably don't know who Davy Crockett is, either, but that's clearly the icon the makers of this Frontier Cabin BIG ENOUGH FOR 2-3 KIDS! - were shooting for. And the life they were promising. Turns out if you did shell out the $1.00 (or $4.00 if, for some reason, you found yourself in need of five frontier cabins) you wouldn't be furnished with a house fit to see the winter through, but a tightly folded vinyl sheet that had the design of a Frontier Cabin printed on it.
