How hysterical is this front page of Practical Householder March 1963? Ladies, balance the loft ladder up to your new and wonderful storage space on a small mahogany table, wear your sauciest red pencil skirt whilst you balance sexily to test it out and don't forget to ask a big strong man in a plaid...
