I have not yet been able to ascertain whether these are legit or not, but they're pretty damn funny from a modern perspective...

These six ads (these five plus the one I posted this morning)
for Cannon towels date from 1943-44. Based on real GI stories

They were illustrated by Stevan Dohanos, Fred Ludekens
and James Bingham. Cannon also made sheets and hosiery
for the government war effort.
