Vintage ad for fallout shelter supplies

Saw these over at Retrospace and just had to post them here. It's hard to believe that only a few decades ago, people were building shelters and stocking up on supplies in the hopes of weathering a nuclear war. I was born during the last decade of the Cold War, but I don't remember any of it, unfortunately. Of course, families weren't the only ones building fallout shelters, towns and cities were too. I remember when I lived in a big town/small city called Harrisonburg, I saw an old fallout shelter sign on a building. Supposedly the high school I went to had a shelter too. Sadly, there were no Pip-Boys or Vault-Tec Vaults.
