The Lincoln motor car advertisement stands out for pairing a luxury automobile with golfers and a slogan, a combination that tells you as much about who the car was meant for as about the vehicle itself. Automobile advertising of this era often leaned on leisure settings like country clubs and fairways to suggest status and ease, and placing a car beside players in plus-fours and caps asked readers to picture themselves among the affluent. The slogan text, set into the layout, was the main persuasive element, since magazine ads of the period relied on a short line to fix the brand in memory. Look closely at the figures and their clothing to see how the advertiser imagined the buyer.
