As the Curtiss Candy Company explained during World War II:
"A non-energetic body is like an LCT without fuel."
Unfortunately, this ad is somewhat of a teaser because during the war, it was hard to find a Baby Ruth for sale:
"Men in foxholes, cockpits, or aboard ships call for more and more Baby Ruth, so civilians sometimes must wait until Uncle Sam is supplied."
James Lileks has lots more vintage ads from comic books here.

Wow, that was like an utterance out of no other enterprise, except maybe NASA.
Neat necklace, for the Borders crowd.
I see you've never met a model who's had to work with a professional photographer before. Let’s see, she's probably been standing out there in the drab weather for an hour waiting for the guy to set up, then wait because the light just isn't right, then reorganise the position of her necklaces because the previous set up just didn't look right, along with the possibility it could have been her time of the month.
You're a hoot. I'll chuckle all morning now. Thanks!
