MODERN AND McGILL'S ADS - 1966

The last couple of ads has the Modern shop in Dock Street, getting a bit carried away with their sales pitch hype. According to them their shop was "One of the wonders of the Road Bridge Terminal", then go on to claim it is "The shopping experience of a lifetime".
Wow! Amazing!! Out of this world!!!
Bringing us back down to earth again, however, is McGill's - selling souvenir rugs for 6 quid!

    Didn't 'Modern' end up having a closing-down sale that went on for years?

    When you think of some of the excellent modern/futuristic designs the 60's did produce, the shop display in their advert looks excedingly old fashioned!
    Also, I'd have thought being based in Dock Street would mean that all the bridge traffic would just whizz past, rather than stop and investigate.

    I saw one of these rugs sell recently at a Curr & Dewar auction for about £40.
