There's been that ongoing debate on whether business cards are dead recently, and personally, I'm one that is still for business cards when it comes to introducing oneself to others formally; it's a quick and easy way to pass on details to one another rather than whipping out phones and do bumps or what not.

A good or a bad viral? You decide.

To the run up of Christmas, here's a few vintage pieces of advertising to bring the warm hearty feeling to you.
