This will, I promise be the last post to come from these copies of Courier magazine from the 1930s and 40s! I have a particular devotion to Mercury and so I was immediately struck as I flicked through these magazines, how often he crops up. Now, I know that three of these five images are adverts for the same company, but even so, I only have six different copies of the magazine and I haven't included a scan of the Goodyear advert which has their logo of a winged mercurial foot! Perhaps there was something about the period which made Mercury seem a good bet...
