The Fire of Love


                                                                   "Love is friendship that has caught fire."
                                                                                        Ann Landers (1918-2002)

Combination of 3 vintage magazine illustrations.  The glowing fire lights were part of an ad for "Afta (by Mennen) Can't Burn" - the first creamy after shave.  The fireman was part of an ad for Duracell batteries.  And the couple "in love" was for Clorets breath mints (of course)!

    1. Thanks Vivienne! I looked and looked for fire images and then looked to Ann Landers for inspiration which is how the Clorets kissers got involved! ha ha
